Question
“What should I do if my child has been experiencing diarrhea for 15 days, with five episodes a day?”
Answer
“Diarrhea refers to an increase in bowel movements, with loose stools and increased fluid content, leading to a decrease in daily stool volume. For adults with mild diarrhea, it is recommended to temporarily reduce food intake, avoiding milk, greasy, and fibrous foods, and opting for light, easily digestible semi-liquid foods. For children over 6 months old, maintain their usual daily diet, offering congee, noodles, or soft rice, and adding vegetables, minced fish, or meat.”
