Question
The child’s stool is loose and watery, and this has been going on for two or three days. I have given medication, but it got worse after eating. What are the results of the tests and examinations? I hope to receive some assistance. What should I do? When deciding on symptomatic treatment, avoid addictive medications, and if necessary, they can only be used short-term. The treatment of the underlying cause is the main focus. If the cause is not clear, even after symptomatic treatment and symptoms have improved, one must not relax or stop the necessary examination steps, especially for cases where malignant diseases have not been ruled out. 1. Antidiarrheal medications commonly include activated carbon, tannic acid protein, bismuth subcarbonate, aluminum hydroxide gel, etc., taken 3 to 4 times a day. Medications with stronger effects like compound camphor tincture and codeine, due to their potential for addiction, are only suitable for short-term use in severe cases of frequent vomiting. Compound phenylbutazone has a central nervous system depressant effect and should not be used with barbiturate or opiate medications. 2. Antispasmodic analgesics can include atropine, propantheline bromide, hyoscyamine, and procaine. 3. Sedatives can include diazepam, librium, and barbiturate drugs. 4. Adjusting intestinal autonomic nervous system medications can include antidepressant capsules and other drugs.
