The "steamed apple anti-diarrhea method" that has been hotly discussed on the Internet recently has been verified by experts to be indeed effective. The pectin in apples can better absorb excess water in the intestines after being heated. However, it should be noted that this only applies to mild diarrhea. In severe cases, timely medical treatment is still required.
Finally, parents are reminded that autumn is a period of high incidence of gastrointestinal problems in infants and young children. They should pay attention to food hygiene and add or remove clothing in a timely manner. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours without improvement, be sure to see a regular medical institution.
