What should I do if my child has diarrhea and poor digestion?

If children do not pay attention to their diet or lifestyle, they will become sick. Generally, it is due to poor digestion. After poor digestion, the child will have no appetite, especially diarrhea, which is also a relatively serious phenomenon. We must adjust and treat the child in time. What should we do if the child has diarrhea and poor digestion? Let’s take a brief look at it below.

If the baby has indigestion and only has mild diarrhea, there is no need to use antidiarrheal drugs. The baby can take carrot soup and fish protein powder. Scorched rice soup and scorched rice porridge can be fed in small amounts and multiple times. Yam ash can help digestion and ginger can detoxify, which is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea. It can be taken daily. Vitamin B1, vitamin C, and lactase can be taken 3 times a day.

1. Take carrot soup, 2-3 times a day, 2-3 tablespoons each time; take applesauce (take an apple, wash, peel and core it, cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, add a small amount of sugar, steam it, and after steaming, mash it into a paste and take it).

Because carrots and apples contain pectin, they can form stools and absorb harmful substances in the intestines, helping to cure diarrhea.

2. Add fish protein powder to rice soup and take 5 grams per day, divided into 1-2 times. Babies over six months old can take fish protein powder porridge or soft noodles. Because fish protein powder has high protein quality, low fat content, and no lactose, it is particularly beneficial for infants with diarrhea. Mild diarrhea usually recovers within 3-5 days of taking the medicine.

3. Scorched rice soup and scorched rice porridge are made by cooking rice or rice flour with water and can be fed in small amounts and multiple times. Because rice contains carbohydrates, it is easiest to digest and absorb. It does not contain lactose and is not easily fermented or causes bloating. The protein contained in rice does not cause allergic reactions. The charred part can absorb harmful substances and is very beneficial for controlling diarrhea.

4. Shanzha charcoal or Paojiang charcoal is made by removing the core of Shanzha or the skin of Paojiang, then frying it into charcoal and grinding it into fine powder. Take 0.3-0.6 grams each time, 3 times a day, dissolve in warm water and add a little sugar to adjust the flavor. Hawthorn can help digestion and ginger can detoxify, which is beneficial for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea.

5. Take vitamin B1, vitamin C and lactase 3 times a day, 1 tablet each time, grind and mix with water to feed, and can be taken at the same time as oral rehydration. Because vitamin B1 can promote the metabolic process of sugars and prevent acid accumulation and gas, vitamin C can increase resistance, and lactase can help digest milk. They are all commonly used drugs for controlling diarrhea.

Through the above introduction, we now know what to do if children have diarrhea and poor digestion. When children have diarrhea, we should not only pay attention to diet and lifestyle adjustments, but also pay attention to preventing children from becoming dehydrated, especially giving children more water. In addition, we should also prevent children from having inflammation and fever.
