Questions
How should parents pay attention to their child’s diet after diarrhea to help the child recover health? Are there any recommended tonifying medicines?
Answer
After a child has diarrhea, it is recommended to gradually resume eating, starting with easily digestible foods such as congee and oatmeal. For infants over 4 to 6 months old, you can introduce nutrient-rich and high-calorie foods like mixed oatmeal with meat or fish, as well as cooking oil, to ensure adequate nutrition intake. At the same time, avoid high-sugar, high-fiber, and hard-to-digest foods, and provide the child with sufficient calories and nutrition to promote recovery. As for tonifying medicines, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician for professional advice and medication names.
