Question

A three-year-old child recently developed diarrhea due to a cold, with bowel movements of three to four times a day, but is in good spirits. How should this situation be handled?

Answer

If a young child experiences mild diarrhea due to a cold, it is recommended to first adjust the diet, ensure the child stays warm, and provide light meals. For more severe symptoms, medication can be used under a doctor’s guidance, such as Montmorillonite powder or probiotics, both of which have good adjustment effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
