Question
A 1.5-year-old baby is suffering from diarrhea. What suitable main food choices are there?
Answer
Diarrhea in babies can be caused by indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or dysbiosis of gut flora. Indigestion can be relieved by giving the baby products like Mommy’s Love or Simethicone, or medications like Montmorillonite powder. If the diarrhea is due to viral or bacterial enteritis, it requires treatment with antibiotics such as Ribavirin granules and Ceftriaxone. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm, and avoid feeding too quickly or in large quantities. Wishing the baby a healthy and happy growth!
