Children are the precious gems of every family, and all family members pour their love into them. Once a child's health is compromised, everyone becomes busy and worried about the child's illness. During the changing seasons, the climate becomes unpredictable and children with weak immune systems become more vulnerable to diseases, especially common cases of diarrhea caused by catching a cold. Today, I will recommend several dietary remedies for treating children's diarrhea, hoping to help your child recover soon.
Cornus and Chinese yam porridge
When a child is weak and has no appetite, a fragrant and sticky porridge is an excellent food choice. It not only aids digestion but also has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach. It can effectively improve the symptoms of diarrhea in children. The recipe is simple.
Just prepare an appropriate amount of cornus, Chinese yam, and glutinous rice. First, wash the ingredients, cut the Chinese yam into pieces, and then soak them in water for a while. After that, pour the soaked ingredients into a pot along with an appropriate amount of water. Cook over low heat until the porridge is completely soft. Then add an appropriate amount of honey and sugar for seasoning, mix well, and it is ready to be consumed.
Red date and glutinous rice porridge
This porridge is equally delicious and sticky. It also has the effects of replenishing qi and benefiting the middle, strengthening the spleen, and invigorating the stomach. It is an excellent dietary remedy for children with weak spleen and stomach and diarrhea. The recipe is as follows:
Prepare an appropriate amount of glutinous rice and red dates. First, wash the glutinous rice and red dates, and soak them in water for half an hour. Then, put enough water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Remove the soaked glutinous rice and red dates from the water and pour them into the boiling water. Remember to stir constantly with a spoon to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. After the water boils, reduce the heat and simmer slowly. Pay attention and don't let the porridge overflow. After half an hour, uncover the pot, stir with a spoon, and if the porridge is already soft and sticky, add an appropriate amount of honey and sugar and it is ready to be served.
Egg custard
For children with diarrhea, liquid or semi-liquid foods are the best choice at this time. They can ensure adequate intake of nutrients and reduce the burden on the intestines and stomach. Egg custard is a typical example, and the recipe is also very simple.
Just beat the eggs, add an appropriate amount of warm water, and mix well. Then, according to the child's taste, add the desired amount of seasoning and ingredients such as green onions or silverfish. Put it on the heat to steam for a few minutes, and it is ready to be served. This cooking method will not destroy the nutritional components inside the eggs and the custard will be tender and stomach-nourishing. Children will definitely love it.
With these dietary remedies in mind, there is no need to worry too much when your child has diarrhea. A bowl of porridge or a custard can effectively alleviate the symptoms. In addition, as the weather gets colder, ensuring that your child stays warm is an effective way to prevent illness.
