Question
Parent Inquiry: My child experienced diarrhea after an intravenous injection, which has never happened before. I would like to know how to adjust their diet.
Answer
Pediatrician’s Advice: Diarrhea after a child’s intravenous injection may be due to a weakened immune system following a cold, leading to bacterial or viral infections that cause upper respiratory infections, with symptoms such as sore throat and cough. After the infection, gastrointestinal function may weaken, resulting in indigestion. It is recommended for parents to give their child plenty of water, take montmorillonite powder, and maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest. Avoid cold, hard, and spicy irritating foods. Eat in small, frequent meals and avoid overeating to prevent catching a cold.
