What to Do If Your Child Has Diarrhea Recently?

Question

Have you conducted a routine stool examination? Is your child’s stool watery? How is your child’s appetite? How much milk does he/she drink? Is your child’s urine output normal? Does your child have any signs of dehydration? Have you tried breastfeeding? Have you tried changing to a different formula milk?

Answer

For children who frequently experience diarrhea, it is first recommended to conduct a routine stool examination. Additionally, be aware of the possibility of viral diarrhea. How is your child’s appetite? How much milk does he/she consume daily? Also, pay attention to whether your child’s urine output is normal. Are there any signs of dehydration? If you are breastfeeding, be mindful of any adverse reactions your child may have to breast milk. You might also consider trying a different formula milk, as some children may be allergic to breast milk or a particular type of formula. Most importantly, follow the doctor’s guidance and recommendations for medication based on your child’s current condition. However, I suggest checking your child’s stool first.
