What should children drink for dry stools? Dietary adjustment for constipation

In many cases, babies' dry stools are caused by improper diet and getting angry. To alleviate the phenomenon of dry stools in babies, parents should start with the diet. The diet needs to be light, and the baby should be given more water and eat more fruits and vegetables, especially bananas and persimmons, which have a good laxative effect.

1. Diet adjustment for dry stools in babies

1. Eat a light diet. If your baby has a sore throat, you should eat more vegetables, fruits and less fried, roasted foods, chocolate, cream and other sweets. In summer, you should also eat less hot fruits such as longan, lychee, and mango.

2. Drink more water. Babies should drink boiled water when they wake up in the morning. This can replenish the water lost at night, clean the intestines, eliminate waste, awaken the digestive system and restore overall function, clean the mouth, etc. Wait half an hour before drinking milk or eating staple food, and drink a few sips of water after eating to clean your mouth. Some babies don’t like to drink plain water, so they can also drink some fruit juice.

3. Use medication safely. If your baby gets a sore throat, you must treat it in time, and you must choose a mild children's medicine. Currently, the most popular medicine used by mothers is San Gongzai Children's Seven Star Tea. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as San Gong Zai Children's Seven Star Tea are Chinese patent medicines. The four main herbs: hawthorn, coix seed, loquat leaf, and licorice are all both medicinal and edible, have no side effects, are guaranteed to be safe, and have a sweet and moderate taste, so babies are happy to take them.

2. What kind of fruit is good for babies with dry stools?

1. Banana

Bananas are good for treating constipation as they can moisten the intestines and have a laxative effect. They also have a smooth taste and are suitable for babies of different ages. However, it should be noted that you should not feed your baby too much banana. It is best to feed your baby one banana in four portions. When the stool is dry, give it to your baby while feeding complementary food. Use a new banana each time, and don't feed the baby with just one banana.

2. Persimmon

Persimmon has a thin skin, bright color and sweet taste, and is a fruit that many babies love to eat. Persimmon is rich in sucrose, glucose, fructose, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and various colloids. If your baby has lung heat, cough or dry stool, eating persimmons can help improve the symptoms.

However, eating a large amount of persimmons will form gastric stones in the baby's body, causing the baby to experience bloating, discomfort, vomiting and indigestion. If the baby already has gastritis or gastric ulcer, it may induce dangerous complications such as gastric perforation and gastric bleeding. Therefore, babies can only eat one persimmon at a time and cannot eat the skin.
