If the child shows signs of poor spirits, sunken fontanelle, dry and elastic skin, sunken orbits, and decreased urine output, indicating dehydration, it is necessary to seek immediate medical treatment. Guidance: 1. You can give the child probiotics, lactase, pepsin solution, etc., to enhance absorption. 2. Use Simethicone to stop diarrhea and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. 3. Take oral rehydration salts to replace lost fluids. 4. It is recommended to increase the frequency of breastfeeding or formula feeding.
