Question

My son is 6 months old and has started experiencing diarrhea since yesterday. The doctor diagnosed it as autumn diarrhea, with symptoms of watery stools and fever. Parents are asking about treatment and prevention methods.

Answer

The treatment for autumn diarrhea includes adjusting the diet; generally, it is not recommended to fast, unless there is severe vomiting. For a 6-month-old baby, it is not advisable to give adult anti-diarrheal medication. Prevention measures include maintaining good personal hygiene habits and considering vaccination against rotavirus.
