Question

My son has been a bit reluctant to eat since last week, eating about half as much as before, and his stomach is so bloated it looks like a drum. He’s also started having diarrhea recently, and what comes out is like water. When he drinks water, he has to defecate. What are some good treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea?

Answer

Based on your description, if the child has diarrhea, consider using some digestive and anti-inflammatory drugs or antiviral drugs for treatment. At the same time, please measure the child’s body temperature to confirm if there is a fever. Drink plenty of water. Reduce food intake and choose easily digestible foods. This will help treat the current diarrhea and closely monitor the child’s recovery. Wishing your little one a healthy growth!
