Question
What should parents do when a child has diarrhea, with a pale complexion and lack of energy?
Answer
Diarrhea in children can be caused by food issues or intestinal bacterial infections, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and a pale complexion. Parents should first observe the child’s stool condition and conduct regular stool and blood tests to determine if the diarrhea is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Treatment methods typically include controlling the pathogen and adjusting the intestinal flora.
