Question
The child has been crying and not eating much recently. What could be the reason for a 3-year-old child to frequently have abdominal pain and diarrhea?
Answer
Hello, if a child is experiencing diarrhea, the first consideration is indigestion, enteritis, or catching a cold. It’s important to diagnose the cause first. If the child has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them products like Mommy Love or probiotic preparations, or administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like cefalexin. If diarrhea is severe and medication is ineffective, immediate intravenous treatment may be necessary. Additionally, make sure to give the child plenty of warm water to drink and gently massage their abdomen.
