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.

View allI'm a bit worried about my family member. He had a cold on the 14th and 15th, and then on the 16th, he started having a fever along with a headache and pain in both legs, which kept him up all night. Whenever he gets a fever, his legs usually hurt too. Weve been giving him crosin and other meds as advised by a clinic doctor. He seemed okay this morning, but now the pain is back. Hes really sensitive, so Im looking for guidance on how to help him feel better. What do you think we should do?

My daughter has been dealing with a cold for the last three weeks, and just recently, over the past two days, I've noticed tiny black particles coming from her runny nose. She has also had a fever three times this month. Right now, she's only showing cold symptoms. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Is it normal for my 2.5-year-old to be passing more gas than usual? It's been happening for a couple of weeks now. I'm giving him polyethylene glycol for constipation, so I'm wondering if that could be related. Should I be concerned?
