Question
Over the past two days, the child has experienced diarrhea without fever, with occasional stool that resembles scrambled eggs. The child has vomited twice before the diarrhea, showing a lack of appetite and poor mental state. It is suspected that the cause may be due to a varied diet the day before.
Answer
The symptoms of diarrhea may result from improper diet leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to use fenbendazole and attapulgite to stop diarrhea and take lactobacillus supplements for intestinal health. In terms of diet, spicy, irritating, and indigestible foods should be avoided. Diarrhea can be divided into physiological and pathological types; physiological diarrhea often results from digestive problems. If the child’s diet, sleep, and mood are normal, increasing fluid intake may be beneficial.
