Question
My child started having diarrhea on Friday afternoon and it has been ongoing until today. What medication is effective for treating child diarrhea?
Answer
The main symptoms of infant diarrhea are loose stools and frequent bowel movements. If a stool test has been conducted and there are no issues, it might be due to indigestion. In such cases, conventional treatment includes the use of attapulgite powder, golden bifidum, probiotics, or a triple strain of bifidobacteria powder. The diet should be light and easy to digest, with appropriate amounts of water and rice porridge to prevent dehydration. There are many treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea, but since the patient’s condition varies, the diagnostic methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed quickly so that appropriate medication can be prescribed.
