Question
My child has recently been experiencing persistent diarrhea. I’m unsure whether it’s due to dietary issues or a cold. How should I handle pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
Children under two years old often suffer from diarrhea due to an underdeveloped immune system or external influences (such as colds caused by wind and cold). Depending on the child’s specific condition, medication treatment can be considered, along with external treatments such as massage and acupuncture. Medication treatment should vary according to the cause, and whether it is due to indigestion or wind-cold requires differential diagnosis and treatment.
