Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea recently, and I’ve given her some over-the-counter diarrhea medicine, but the effect isn’t very good. I took her to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed some medication and advised her to eat some light foods. How should I handle children’s diarrhea?
Answer
Children’s diarrhea is quite common in clinical settings, with common causes including infectious factors such as viral or bacterial infections, as well as non-infectious factors such as unclean diet, indigestion, improper feeding, abdominal coldness, and weather factors. Suggestions: If the child does not have symptoms of fever or vomiting but simply has diarrhea, it is likely related to indigestion or abdominal coldness. In such cases, you can give the child probiotics and also use Montmorillonite powder for treatment. Try observing the situation first.
