Question
The child has been complaining of stomach pain since the morning and has started having watery diarrhea. There are rumbling sounds in the abdomen. After taking children’s anti-diarrheal medicine, the diarrhea is still not loose, and the stomach pain and rumbling continue. There are also itchy bumps on the body.
Answer
Based on your description, has the child eaten any new foods or medications in the past one or two days? If so, it is recommended that you discontinue them. The itchy bumps on the child’s body may be due to an allergy, and antiallergic medication may be necessary if needed. If the bumps appeared before taking the anti-diarrheal medicine, they are not related to the medication.
