Question
How should infants supplement their diet during diarrhea?
Answer
During a diarrhea episode, infants should avoid consuming milk powder and rice cereal, as they may have stomach cold or respiratory infections. Parents should consult with a doctor and adjust their child’s diet according to medical advice. Under the doctor’s guidance, infants can consume rice cereal for a period of time and resume milk powder intake the next day. If the child experiences persistent diarrhea, they should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s treatment recommendations. At the same time, parents should monitor their child’s condition and take appropriate measures if symptoms such as fever, hiccups, or a runny nose appear.
