Question
My child is three years old, and they have been experiencing severe diarrhea recently. What should I do?
Answer
When dealing with a child’s diarrhea, it’s crucial to first identify the cause. If it’s due to catching a cold, pay attention to keeping warm and use antidiarrheal medications as needed, such as Montmorillonite powder or probiotics. If the diarrhea is caused by a bacterial infection, using the above methods alone may be ineffective, and it is necessary to also use antibiotics for treatment.
