Question
My child is 4 years old and has been experiencing diarrhea due to eating too many cold foods, lasting for two days now. They have lost their appetite and can only eat white rice. What are some quick treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
The cause of the 4-year-old child’s diarrhea may be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or intestinal inflammation caused by bacterial infection. It is recommended to keep the abdomen warm, drink plenty of hot water, and avoid catching a cold. Consider using medication for treatment, as well as physical therapy methods such as heating patches to alleviate symptoms, with the main goal being to prevent dehydration.
