Question
My child had diarrhea a few days ago and went to the hospital. They took medicine and drank formula specifically for diarrhea. It’s now the third day, and they still haven’t had a bowel movement. What should I do now?
Answer
Based on the symptoms and situation you described, first stop drinking this formula and switch to probiotic oral liquids, such as Bifidobacterium quadrivitum granules. Ensure adequate water intake, eat more vegetables and fruits, be mindful of staying warm, and engage in more outdoor activities to enhance gastrointestinal movement. For severe constipation, you can use a lubricating enema to promote metabolism. These are my suggestions for the question “Dear doctors, my child had diarrhea a few days ago.” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
