Question
The child has been crying and not eating much recently. What should be done if a 17-month-old child has diarrhea with yellow pus-like stool?
Answer
Considering the possibility of enteritis in the child, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a physical examination, including routine blood tests and stool tests, to confirm the diagnosis before targeted treatment is initiated. If there is inflammation, antibiotic treatment may be required for anti-inflammatory purposes, and medications such as probiotics and montmorillonite powder can be used in conjunction. For diet, it is suggested to drink warm water and consume easily digestible foods such as white rice porridge and millet porridge in the near future.
