Question
My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. What should I be cautious about when using pediatric diarrhea medication?
Answer
If the child experiences nausea and vomiting again, it’s recommended to first apply a navel patch to the child’s navel, which can help with warmth and stop diarrhea. Then, take some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and anti-diarrheal medicine, preferably in syrup or granule form. After taking it continuously for 2 to 3 days, if the symptoms do not improve, seek medical treatment promptly. During this period, always pay close attention to the frequency of the child’s diarrhea and supplement fluids promptly if there is frequent nausea and vomiting.
