Question
An eleven-month-old child, who already has a poor gastrointestinal condition, started having diarrhea after catching a cold. The condition has not improved after 5 days, and the question is how to treat pediatric diarrhea.
Answer
It is advised to take the child to a regular hospital for blood and stool routine checks immediately, and then proceed with targeted treatment after determining the cause. If the acute enteritis is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics and antidiarrheal medications such as cephalosporins and montmorillonite powder can be used, but specific medications should be followed according to the doctor’s instructions.
