Question
My child has been suffering from diarrhea recently, always complaining of a stomach ache, and it’s really worrying. I don’t know what could be causing it. Can you ask the doctor, what are the causes of pediatric diarrhea? How should I handle pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
The causes of pediatric diarrhea include viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, improper feeding, and abdominal cold. Treatment suggestions are as follows: for bacterial infections, antibiotics can be used to control the infection; for viral diarrhea, mild cases can be treated with oral rehydration salts, while severe cases may require intravenous fluid therapy; for diarrhea caused by indigestion, digestive aids can be used, and a warm water bottle can be used to warm the abdomen. Additionally, drinking more warm water can also help alleviate symptoms.
