Asking for Other, Female, 2.8 years old, Lahore
My 2.8 years old daughter recently got infected with typhoid.. she got much weaker because of that.. she takes milk twice a day.. can i add any supplement in that milk that can be tasteful and help her in gaining health
Continue with my. You can artificial sweeteners for tase but it’s better to avoid in child. Moreover! Increase fruit intake. Consult your physician! He will evaluate child for any necessary test( sometimes weaknesses is due to deficiencies)
Natural diet would be helpful. Try to make her milk shakes rather going for supplements
give her mashed banana. it will help her gain weight
really quick. And babies of this age usually dont need supplements but still consult your doctor
in typhoid give diet full of carbohydrates like meshed banana, meshed boiled potato, mango, sweet rice khichri, sweet yougurt...and as well continue antibiotics for typhoid given by your physician.
yes you can add supplements in milk and can also start soft diet like poridg, tost in milk and khichri etc the antibiotics should be carried out for total of 14 days.
paediatrician should respond

1:since how long she is taking medicine? stopped or still in active treatment.
2: no need of any suppliment in milk . 2.8 girl is big enough to fulfill her need with food rich in carbohydrates like boild potatoes .. boild rice with some lentils.. fruits like banana which is also rich in potassium ...
3: get her check for anemia ( dec Hemoglobin) .. if yes .. then consult a good pediatrician to rule out cause and type . which will be mannaged accordingly ..

Thanks dr for the detailed reply.. she is now done with 14 days of antibiotics.. and yes she is having low HB i.e. 8.4. that is why i am more concerned.. she can't take iron syrup because it doesn't suit her and she gets loose motions because of that.. everything is getting fine day bt day but since her antibiotics are complete she is having loose motions .. not much in quantity but 3 to 4 times a day..
