Question
My son has been vomiting and having diarrhea since last Saturday, along with a high fever. Now that the fever has subsided, the diarrhea has not improved. I would like to ask how to make homemade sugar-salt water to help him?
Answer
During a baby’s diarrhea, timely fluid replenishment is crucial. Dehydration can occur rapidly and severely affect a baby’s metabolism. It is recommended to give the baby carrot juice or low-sugar fruit juices to prevent dehydration. At the same time, continue to provide appropriate food to replenish nutrition, such as congee, mashed potatoes, and ripe apple puree, which are easy-to-digest foods for babies. High-fat foods should be avoided as they may increase the baby’s digestive burden.
