Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

My 3-year-old son has had a runny nose and viral fever frequently over the past two years. Weve been to the doctor, and they prescribed some meds, but they don't seem to be working. For his fever, they've given us Ibugesic, and for his cough and cold, they suggested something else. I'm really concerned, could you give us some advice on what else we might try or what could be going on?
It seems your son may have recurrent viral infections, which can sometimes be common in young children due to their developing immune system. I recommend discussing with your pediatrician about further investigations, such as assessing for allergies or other underlying conditions. In the meantime, maintaining good hydration, rest, and using prescribed medications as directed can help manage symptoms.
