Question
My child has recently been experiencing poor digestion, loss of appetite, and an increased number of loose stools, with the feces appearing in a watery, non-formed state. Could this be infantile diarrhea? What treatment should be taken?
Answer
Infantile diarrhea, also known as infantile indigestion, primarily manifests as diarrhea and vomiting and is more common during the summer and autumn seasons. Treatment methods include: 1. Controlling the cause by selecting appropriate antimicrobial drugs; 2. Taking oral antidiarrheal medications, which can include digestive enzyme mixtures or symptomatic treatment based on the situation.
