Question
Why does a child’s diarrhea often take around a week to heal? Are there any treatment methods better than rehydration?
Answer
A child’s diarrhea typically takes around a week to improve, as it often results from a gastrointestinal disorder caused by viral or bacterial infections or abdominal cold. It is recommended to give the child oral compound pancreatin powder and Bishen, taking the two medications an hour apart, and applying Dingguier navel sticker to the navel. Also, it is important to keep the abdomen warm. Additionally, increasing bowel movements and consuming light, easy-to-digest foods can also help improve symptoms.
