Question

How to handle children’s diarrhea optimally?

Answer

The causes of children’s diarrhea are generally related to improper diet, infection, indigestion due to weak spleen and stomach, or intestinal inflammation. It is recommended that if there is anal pain or frequent bowel movements, you can use warm water to wipe the area to keep it clean and dry. Oral anti-diarrheal and digestive aid medications can be taken, drink plenty of water, and increase food intake. If the symptoms do not improve, it is still necessary to have a detailed examination by the hospital’s gastroenterology department for further treatment.
