How long does it take for newborn diarrhea medication to take effect?
Answer
Diarrhea can be caused by various factors, including infections, food intolerance, or allergies. Treatment for diarrhea may include antibiotics (if caused by a bacterial infection), anti-diarrheal medications, or probiotics. Generally, the time it takes for medication to take effect depends on the cause and type of medication, which may range from a few days to a week. If the situation does not improve or worsens, please consult a doctor promptly. Additionally, maintaining adequate hydration and electrolyte balance is very important.
