Question

How should one handle a child’s diarrhea, vomiting, and lack of spirit?

Answer

If a child is experiencing diarrhea and vomiting, the most crucial step is to prevent dehydration. For infants still breastfeeding, it’s advisable to continue feeding them, as breast milk is an excellent way to replenish the lost fluids and electrolytes due to diarrhea and vomiting; for formula-fed infants, it’s best to choose formula without lactose, as lactose may worsen the symptoms of diarrhea; for children over one year old, giving them some juice or clear soup can help prevent dehydration.
