What is diarrhea? What are the main treatment methods for diarrhea? Besides antibiotics, what else should be noted?
Answer
Diarrhea is an infectious intestinal disease. The main treatment method is the use of antibiotics. Additionally, in severe cases of diarrhea, it is important to pay attention to fluid replacement. In daily life, attention should be given to diet; during diarrhea, it is advisable to avoid consuming overly greasy foods and to drink plenty of water. Since diarrhea increases the frequency of bowel movements in children, it is also necessary to pay more attention to the care of the buttocks. After each bowel movement, use a wet paper towel to wipe the anus and buttocks, and then rinse with clean water.
