Question
What medication should be used for pediatric diarrhea? Urgent!
Answer
For pediatric diarrhea, oral Montmorillonite powder can be effective. Take it three times a day, half a packet to a full packet each time, which can significantly alleviate symptoms. If accompanied by abdominal pain (usually around the umbilicus), fever, and stool with pus and mucus, it is more likely due to intestinal inflammation. In such cases, a stool routine test is necessary, and anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed. Stay well hydrated and avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water and, if needed, a little pediatric rehydration salt.
