Question

Which department should a child with diarrhea visit?

Answer

It is recommended to see a department of anorectal surgery, to check if the anal sphincter contraction is normal, and to promptly visit the hospital for intestinal function tests to understand if there is inflammation. At the same time, conduct detailed examinations such as abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, colonoscopy, rectal manometry, and rectal palpation. Also, pay attention to behavior correction. Moreover, it is important to avoid children from eating cold foods or having their stomachs exposed to cold while sleeping to prevent gastrointestinal dysfunction and enteritis. Additionally, some children may develop gastroenteritis from eating unclean food, which may lead to similar conditions recurring.
