Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a baby has diarrhea, you can give them some warm boiled water or sugared water to prevent dehydration. You may also feed the baby some apples and Chinese yam. The pectin and dietary fiber from apples can aid intestinal digestion, reduce intestinal secretions, and thus help relieve the baby's diarrhea. Additionally, feeding the baby some congee is beneficial, as congee gently nourishes the stomach and intestines, helps restore the baby's nutrition, and promotes recovery from diarrhea.
