Question
If a child’s diarrhea persists and does not improve, are there other treatment methods available?
Answer
When a child has diarrhea, the stool is usually yellow-green and routine checks generally show normal results without red or white blood cells. In addition to taking probiotics, other medications like montmorillonite may be needed. It is recommended that this condition requires a certain amount of recovery time, and even with oral medications, diarrhea may still occur. It usually takes about 5 days to return to normal, and in severe cases, fluid replacement therapy may be necessary.
