Question
What should I do if my child’s diarrhea doesn’t respond to medication?
Answer
Diarrhea in young children may be caused by digestive system issues. Parents should follow the principle of eating less and more frequently, starting with thin to thick foods, and complement medication treatment with antibiotics, mucosal protectants, probiotics, or traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, maintain good hygiene habits to reduce the spread of disease. If symptoms are severe or do not improve, seek medical attention immediately.
