Question
A 3-year-old boy, after moving from his hometown, has been experiencing persistent diarrhea. The diagnosis is unsuitable. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
unsuitable is commonly seen in infants, especially younger children, as their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully matured, making them prone to digestive issues. It is recommended to give probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora and ensure the child is adequately hydrated. If symptoms do not improve after taking probiotics, it is important to promptly take the child to a local hospital for further examination and use appropriate medication under a doctor’s guidance. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, maintaining lightness and avoiding intake of greasy and indigestible foods.
