Question
What can children eat when they have diarrhea?
Answer
Currently, the diet should focus on easily digestible foods such as milk, rice porridge, congee, and noodles; avoid foods that are high in sugar, fat, and fiber; continue with medication. Montmorillonite powder and cold medicine can be taken as mentioned above. If there are frequent bowel movements, especially with watery stools, increase the Montmorillonite powder dosage to one packet per time. Stop taking cold medicine as soon as possible; oral rehydration salts should be used. If symptoms such as mucous stools or mucous bloody stools, fever, poor mental state, or significantly reduced urine output occur, seek medical attention again.
