Question
How should parents handle their child’s diarrhea symptoms?
Answer
When a child experiences diarrhea, it is recommended that parents closely monitor their child’s reaction to medication and promptly report the situation to the attending physician for further treatment guidance. Diarrhea can be caused by various factors, including colds or dietary issues. If there is a suspicion of enteritis as the cause of the diarrhea, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for examination to prevent dehydration. At the same time, it is suggested to increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration and use appropriate medication based on the physician’s diagnosis.
