Question
My daughter is one year old, but she has been experiencing diarrhea almost every day for the past month, two to three times a day. I asked a nearby doctor, who said it’s due to indigestion and prescribed some digestive medicine, but it hasn’t worked. She’s been taking Montmorillonite Powder and other medications. What do experts suggest?
Answer
Diarrhea in children is a common and recurrent disease, ranking second only to respiratory infections during the pediatric period. It is especially prevalent during the change of seasons in summer and autumn, and severe cases can even lead to fever. The main cause of persistent diarrhea in children is infection, usually caused by gastrointestinal inflammation from bacteria or viruses. Additionally, improper diet can also lead to diarrhea in children. For the specific condition of the child, we need to choose an appropriate treatment method.
