Question
My son is four years old, but lately I’ve noticed that his stomach isn’t in good shape. It seems like there might be something wrong with his digestive system because no matter what he eats, he ends up with diarrhea. Our family’s diet is mostly the same as his, and I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do about this?
Answer
If the child does not exhibit symptoms such as fever or stomach pain, it might be due to indigestion causing the diarrhea. In this case, it’s first recommended to have a light diet, ensure proper warmth, and give the child some digestive aids and probiotics to nourish their system. If necessary, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used in conjunction with laxatives for treatment. If the pain and fever are more pronounced, it may be considered an enteritis, and it’s important to seek immediate pediatric examination and treatment at a hospital.
