Question
What should parents give their 1.5-year-old baby to eat to alleviate diarrhea symptoms?
Answer
When a 1.5-year-old baby has diarrhea, it is suggested to give them salted white porridge to drink. Avoid feeding them meat porridge as it may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. For the next 2 to 3 days after the diarrhea, the baby’s diet should remain light until the inflammation and swelling in the intestines subside. Additionally, if the baby is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment and pay attention to the baby’s dietary hygiene, avoiding irritating and cold foods.
