Question
What should I pay attention to in my child’s diet when they have diarrhea? The child has yellow, watery stools, a large amount, and has diarrhea after eating. It’s been two days, and they are currently taking medication prescribed by a doctor. I only feed him thin rice porridge every day, but he has diarrhea after drinking it. I’m worried about him losing water. I’m going to the hospital tomorrow, and I was wondering what kind of dietary supplements can prevent dehydration. Onset Time: November 16, 2009. Detailed Test Results: Nausea and Vomiting in Fall. Desired Assistance: What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Should I only give him soup or not feed him anything on an empty stomach?
Answer
I suggest giving the child some water with a little salt and sugar added to prevent dehydration. Additionally, you can dry-fry some millet, heat it up, and wrap it in a cloth to apply it to the child’s navel. This can help stop diarrhea and relieve bloating. There’s no need to worry; the prognosis is good!
