Question
My one-and-a-half-year-old child has diarrhea about one or two times a day, with loose to watery stools, a foul smell, and sometimes leakage. Every morning, I always hear his stomach gurgling. He either vomits or has diarrhea, and after vomiting or having diarrhea, the stomach noise stops, and the taste of both is similar. He drinks some water and then sleeps soundly. He is very active during the day and has normal appetite and food intake. He has not had a fever or feverish symptoms! This has been going on for three or four days, and the cause is unclear. It just started like this suddenly. Previous treatment and effects: He took Mami Love and Simida, and also wore Dinggui Er umbilical cord plasters. Last night, he didn’t vomit, but he had diarrhea, and it was very loose and not formed! I tried to give him a stomach-soothing oral liquid, but he wouldn’t drink it, maybe because he doesn’t like the taste! I am seeking assistance on how to cure or relieve his symptoms naturally!
Answer
The child has viral diarrhea. The stomach noise is due to increased bowel sounds and rapid intestinal peristalsis. You should continue to use Simida and Mami Love. Mami Love can be used for a longer period as it helps nourish the intestinal flora. It is an active probiotic preparation. Once the intestinal flora is well-nourished, there will be no recurrence of illness. If you find the specific cause, adjust the diet appropriately without needing to take medication or eat medicine; nausea and vomiting can naturally heal on their own.
