Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Hydration is key: Offer plenty of fluids, such as water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and breast milk (for infants). Avoid sugary drinks and juices.
  • Bland diet: Introduce bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet). These foods are gentle on the stomach.
  • Gradual reintroduction of solids: As diarrhoea improves, other foods are slowly reintroduced.
  • Avoid irritants: Stay away from dairy products, fatty foods, spicy foods, and high-fibre foods until symptoms subside.
  • Probiotics: Some studies suggest probiotics might help shorten the duration of diarrhoea. Consult your pediatrician.

Lifestyle:

  • Rest: Encourage your child to rest to conserve energy.
  • Hygiene: Proper handwashing is essential to prevent the spread of infection.
  • Monitor for dehydration: Watch for signs like dry mouth, fewer wet diapers, lethargy, and sunken eyes.
  • Consult a paediatrician: If diarrhoea persists, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, blood in stool, or severe dehydration, seek medical attention promptly.
