Question
The baby has been having green stools since three months old, saying that the baby’s intestines are not good, and can have several bowel movements a day, especially at night. Now that the baby is one year old, the diarrhea keeps coming back and cannot be stopped. What medication should a one-year-old child take for diarrhea? I’m afraid the baby will have a recurrence if it doesn’t work.
Answer
If a child experiences diarrhea, it’s important to first ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water, keep the abdomen warm, and focus on a diet of light, non-spicy foods. It’s also recommended to supplement with probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal system, which typically leads to gradual recovery. There’s no need to worry excessively; maintaining a calm and optimistic attitude is beneficial for the child.
