Question
What should I do if my 4-month-old child has diarrhea?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have contracted enteritis. It is recommended that parents take the child for a stool test and undergo anti-inflammatory treatment. Oral cefixime dry suspension and Simethicone can be administered to the child, along with plenty of water. Keep the anal area clean by washing with warm water to prevent dermatitis. There are many causes of poor digestion in children. If diagnosed with indigestion, treatment should be immediate, accompanied by fasting and good hygiene habits. Children’s diet should be reasonable, avoiding spicy and cold foods.
