Question
What medication should a baby take for diarrhea? As a parent, I am very worried and afraid that my child’s condition may worsen. I hope the doctor can answer this question for me.
Answer
You can go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination, accurate diagnosis, and active treatment. Currently, if the baby is experiencing diarrhea that is watery in nature and with an increased frequency of bowel movements, it should be considered that there may be enteritis present. Enteritis is mainly caused by pathogenic infections, such as bacteria and viruses. It is important to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water to avoid electrolyte imbalance. In terms of diet, avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and cold foods. At the same time, keeping warm and getting adequate rest is also crucial. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to check promptly.
