Question
A 2-year-old baby often has diarrhea after eating cold foods. Is this an abnormal phenomenon?
Answer
Diarrhea in a baby after consuming cold foods can be normal, as their digestive system may be more sensitive. However, if the diarrhea is frequent and accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, fever, or blood in the stool, it could indicate gastritis or other gastrointestinal issues. It is recommended to avoid giving the baby cold foods and to observe their symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Additionally, you can give the baby some medication to regulate the gastrointestinal system and pay attention to their diet, avoiding cold and cool foods.
