What to do if a three-year-old child has diarrhea

1. Cook the apples

A well-cooked apple has an astringent effect. Giving your baby one apple a day can help relieve diarrhea. When cooking apples, you should cook them in water or add some rock sugar, so that babies will like them more.

2. Egg yolk diet

After boiling the eggs, remove the shells and egg whites, and simmer the egg yolks in a pot over low heat to extract the oil. Infants under one year old can take one egg yolk a day, divided into 2-3 doses, for a course of 3 days to treat diarrhea, and it has the effect of tonifying the spleen and stomach and stopping diarrhea.

3. Scorched Rice Soup

First, grind the rice flour or milk cake into powder, fry it until it turns yellow, then add appropriate amount of water and sugar, and then cook it into a paste. When rice noodles are heated after adding water, its carbonized structure has a good adsorption and antidiarrheal effect.

4. Carrot soup

Carrots are alkaline foods. The pectin they contain can promote stool formation and absorb bacteria and toxins on the intestinal mucosa. They are a good antidiarrheal food.

Can a three-year-old child with diarrhea drink milk?

Children should not drink milk when they have diarrhea. Because Chinese people generally lack the digestive enzymes that can completely digest milk. This ability to digest milk becomes smaller and smaller as the child grows older, so the child should stop drinking milk when he has diarrhea. If the child is too young and needs to drink milk, you can choose diarrhea milk powder.

In addition, some children have diarrhea due to lactose intolerance, so children with diarrhea due to this reason should not drink milk when they have diarrhea. Milk contains lactose, which can easily affect the baby's intestinal mucosa and make the baby lactose intolerant. If lactose accumulates to a certain amount in the intestinal cavity, it can easily cause hyperosmosis, making it difficult for the stomach and intestines to absorb water, thereby aggravating diarrhea. Children should not drink milk when they have diarrhea, but they can be given egg yolks, vegetable puree and other easily digestible foods. To prevent diarrhea, parents can also add some probiotics to their children's daily diet.
