Question
The child has been crying and not eating much recently. What should I do if a 17-month-old child has diarrhea with yellow pus-like stool?
Answer
Considering the possibility of enteritis, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a physical examination, including blood tests and detailed stool examinations to confirm the diagnosis. After diagnosis, consider targeted symptomatic treatment. If there is inflammation, it is suggested to consider antibiotic medications for active anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, combine symptomatic treatment with probiotics, bentonite powder, and other medications. Drink plenty of warm water, and maintain a diet of light and easy-to-digest foods such as white rice porridge and millet porridge in the near future.
