Question
My child has been suffering from diarrhea for ten days now, and medication has not improved the condition. What effective methods are there? I kindly ask for the doctor’s advice.
Answer
For children with diarrhea, first check the stool to determine if it is caused by dyspepsia or enteritis. At the same time, be aware of any gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If diagnosed with dyspepsia, it is recommended to take Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Montmorillonite Powder, and other medications, and consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Additionally, extend the feeding interval to allow the stomach to rest adequately and increase fluid intake. If you are introducing complementary foods, stop or reduce the intake of complementary foods and gradually resume after the symptoms improve. Avoid giving difficult-to-digest foods. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive professional treatment.
