Question
A 28-month-old child has had continuous diarrhea for three days, with three to four episodes daily, and loose stools. Lately, they have been restless and crying at night. They have visited the hospital twice, and medication has not been effective. Apart from being given rice gruel and congee, other foods are not given due to concern, but the child also doesn’t like them. The whole family is very worried and seeks help; thank you very much.
Answer
The child’s nausea and vomiting may be due to indigestion or bacterial infection. Besides rice gruel, vegetables can also be given to the child. Nausea and vomiting can be treated with probiotics and montmorillonite powder. The child’s diet should be balanced, including grains and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Probiotics can be consumed to adjust the intestines, and antibiotics can be added if there are issues with the stool.
