Question
I’ve had diarrhea for three days. For the first two days, it wasn’t severe; I only had it three times a day. But by this afternoon at 6 PM, I’ve had it six times. This morning, the stools were sticky with mucus and milk-like particles, and in the afternoon, they were watery. What should I do?
Answer
In this situation, it is necessary to consider a hospital examination of the stool to determine the possibility of bacterial infection. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment may be considered. During treatment, probiotics and other medications can also be used in conjunction. It is currently recommended that you must give your child adequate fluids and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
