Question
How many days can a child continue to take Montmorillonite powder after experiencing diarrhea?
Answer
Montmorillonite powder is typically recommended for short-term use in treating children’s diarrhea. If the diarrhea is caused by simple dietary issues or exposure to cold without bacterial infection, Montmorillonite powder can be used to stop the diarrhea. However, it should be stopped immediately once the diarrhea subsides or symptoms improve to avoid causing constipation. Additionally, attention should be given to diet, avoiding cold and raw foods, and drinking plenty of water. In cases of severe nausea and vomiting, it may be necessary to combine other medications for treatment.
