Question
The child has experienced vomiting again, accompanied by a fever reaching 39 degrees, and the parents are concerned about their child’s condition. They inquire about what methods can be used to help the child deal with diarrhea.
Answer
Firstly, control the child’s diet and avoid consuming irritating foods and high-fat foods. About half of pediatric diarrhea cases are caused by viral infections or improper diet. Overuse of antibiotics is not only ineffective but may also kill normal bacteria in the intestines, leading to dysbiosis. Therefore, antibiotics should not be used random ly. If the frequency of vomiting increases and is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, it is recommended to temporarily fast to allow the intestines to rest fully and alleviate issues such as intestinal mucosal edema. In terms of diet, providing small, frequent servings of carrot puree can aid in the recovery of the condition. Simply wash fresh carrots, cut into pieces, boil with water, and then mash them into a puree.
