Question
I have a child with acute gastritis, with an elevated white blood cell count, and we’ve already had blood tests done. They’ve been on medication for three days now. Can they eat salted cabbage?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Patients with acute gastritis can eat salted cabbage to replenish electrolytes that may be lost due to diarrhea. Guidance: It is advised that patients do not need to worry too much and can consume salted cabbage in moderation, but not excessively. At the same time, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition, seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and avoid self-medication to prevent the delay of the disease.
