Question
My child has been crying and not eating much recently. How should I treat the child’s diarrhea?
Answer
Children’s diarrhea may be caused by enteritis or stomach cold. If the child appears pale and has very red buttocks, it is best to take the child to the hospital for a thorough stool examination to determine the cause and then receive targeted treatment. If necessary, intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered to prevent dehydration and supplement fluids. It is recommended that children drink more warm water, and they can also take montmorillonite powder for treatment. If necessary, use Dinggui Er Weizhi Patches. If the buttocks are red, they should be washed with hot water and then apply red mold ointment to keep the child’s buttocks dry and clean.
