Question
What should be done if a child has diarrhea for more than a month?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo tests for occult blood in stool, blood routine, and blood electrolytes to determine the cause. If diagnosed with pediatric enteritis, which is likely due to viral infection, medications such as amoxicillin, ribavirin, Simethicone, and Mami Love can be considered for treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to observe for signs of dehydration, and timely rehydration should be administered if necessary. The treatment course usually lasts for 5 to 7 days.
