Question
How should one handle diarrhea in a 4-year-old child?
Answer
Diarrhea in a 4-year-old child may be due to improper diet or catching a cold. This condition may involve gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is advised to take the child to the hospital for targeted examinations to determine the cause and take appropriate symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication as recommended by the doctor. At the same time, attention should be given to maintaining a balanced and reasonable diet for the child, avoiding spicy or irritating foods, ensuring the child drinks plenty of warm water, and practicing good hand hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal issues.
