Question
What should I note about pediatric diarrhea? My aunt’s child is about two years old and is experiencing diarrhea every day, with especially loose stools and abdominal pain. The doctor said it’s pediatric diarrhea and prescribed medication. After taking it for two days, there’s a bit of improvement.
Answer
A two-year-old child is experiencing diarrhea every day, with particularly loose stools and abdominal pain. This could be due to malnutrition or improper diet. It’s recommended to apply cold compresses to the baby’s abdomen, administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, adjust the intestinal flora with medication, increase consumption of porridge made from millet, and conduct regular and thorough stool checks before treatment.
