Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a baby has diarrhea, try to feed them warm soups and porridge, such as corn porridge or rice gruel. Offering easily digestible foods can help improve intestinal motility and alleviate the baby's diarrhea symptoms. It's important to maintain hydration by giving small amounts of warm water, but avoid excessive water intake to prevent conditions like hypokalemia. Under a doctor's guidance, you may administer antibiotics to prevent intestinal infections caused by diarrhea and help relieve the baby's symptoms.
