Question
The child has a bit of diarrhea, can they take Baoying Dan?
Answer
When a child has a bit of diarrhea, substances like Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactase, and Pepsin can be given to promote digestion. If the child is breastfed, it’s advisable for the mother to have a diet rich in nutrition, light, and easy to digest, avoiding overly greasy foods, as well as cold foods like oranges, watermelons, and grapes. If the mother also has poor gastrointestinal function, such as symptoms of diarrhea or constipation, she can take intestinal probiotic capsules orally to adjust the balance of intestinal flora, which is also beneficial for the child’s recovery. However, if the situation is severe, it’s recommended to consult a doctor for more professional advice and treatment.
