Question
How to handle a baby or young child with diarrhea?
Answer
After a baby or young child has diarrhea, it is important not to fast and continue breastfeeding or reduce the amount of formula milk appropriately, while also ensuring adequate hydration to prevent dehydration. At the same time, oral rehydration salts should be used if the condition requires it, and antibiotics should not be overused. Proper home care is also crucial, including keeping the abdomen warm, frequently changing diapers, and maintaining clean and dry buttocks.
