Question
My child has been suffering from viral diarrhea for a week now, but it hasn’t fully recovered. What should I do?
Answer
When your child experiences viral diarrhea, the first step is to control the symptoms of the viral infection. You can give your child some antiviral medications, such as Isatis root, Isatis root and honeysuckle flower, and jasmine tea. These remedies can help your child fight off the virus while also cooling the body and detoxifying. If the condition does not improve, you may consider giving your child an antibiotic, such as azithromycin. Please note that these suggestions are for reference only. If your child’s condition continues to worsen or other severe symptoms appear, please seek medical attention immediately and consult with a professional doctor.
