Question
What should I do when my child has diarrhea?
Answer
When a child has diarrhea, as a parent, it’s natural to feel worried and afraid about the potential severity of the condition. In response to this question, I suggest you report your child’s condition after taking medication to the attending physician and follow the doctor’s recommendations for further treatment. There are many reasons for a child’s diarrhea, which could be caused by colds or related to food. Considering the possibility that the diarrhea may be caused by enteritis, I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a check-up to prevent dehydration. Additionally, staying hydrated is an important suggestion. Only a doctor can prescribe medication based on the underlying cause.
