Question
My baby is one year old and has been experiencing diarrhea recently, with about seven to eight bowel movements a day. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
When a child has diarrhea, it is recommended to adjust the diet promptly, avoiding difficult-to-digest foods, especially when diarrhea is severe, where stopping food intake may be necessary. Under the guidance of a doctor, use anti-diarrheal medications, and it is advised to seek medical attention quickly to confirm the cause, whether it is due to bacterial or viral infection. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
