Question 4

what can i give a 4month old who has diarrhea?

Accepted Answer

A doctor visit ASAP: "plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation now is recommended appropriate to the duration of  symptoms, fever if any, any other associations if present (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), exposures, as well as baby's medical co-morbidities. Is a high risk of dehydration in infants.

Depends: The answer depends on the cause.  If you have severe viral gastroenteritis, you want to "starve the virus" and push clear liquids for 18-24 hours, than slowly increase soft foods/"brat" like diet.  The cause od the diarrhea needs to be diagnosed and should be treated appropriately before simply eating.  Good luck.
