Q. Dietary Management of Children with Diarrhoea?

Diarrhoeas are more common in children and malnutrition often leads to the elicitation of this symptom as undernourished are more prone. Poverty, ignorance, poor sanitation is often the underlying risk factors. The magnitude of the incidence of diarrhoea in India is majorly observed in children. It has been estimated that almost 250 million episodes of diarrhoea annually are observed in children below 5 years and nearly 1.5 million children die of diarrhoea annually. Thus, managing diarrhoea in children is of great concern.
