Question

What is the treatment method for severe diarrhea in children with potassium deficiency?

Answer

If a child frequently has diarrhea, it may be caused by malabsorption. It is recommended to conduct a routine stool test. If the results are normal, diarrhea may be due to gastrointestinal dysbiosis. You can take Enterococcus faecium and Bifidobacterium bifidum granules, eat more potassium-rich foods, and have a diversified diet. In addition, during the treatment of a child’s diarrhea, it is not only important to treat promptly but also to pay attention to the patient’s dietary and psychological conditions. It is essential to prevent excessive stress and anxiety to avoid unnecessary impacts on the child’s complete recovery from diarrhea.
