Question
What type of formula should a child with diarrhea consume, and under what circumstances can this formula be used? Also, are there any precautions to be aware of? Thank you!
Answer
If a child experiences diarrhea, it is recommended to check their stool for signs of indigestion or enteritis. Pay attention to whether the diarrhea is due to a cold-induced digestive disorder. For indigestion, it is suggested to take oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Simeta, and other symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Increase water intake. If introducing new complementary foods, it should be temporarily paused or reduced. Resume gradually after improvement. Particularly avoid consuming indigestible foods.
