Question
My child has diarrhea with yellow mucoid stools, resembling corn porridge, and the symptoms are worse at night. We have previously received treatment at a local clinic, using attapulgite powder and chicken gizzard powder, but the effect was not significant. How should I help my child?
Answer
Firstly, your child may be suffering from dyspepsia. It is recommended to use attapulgite powder to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa, and increase the dosage to enhance the therapeutic effect. At the same time, you can give your child probiotics, lactase, or pepsin oral solutions to promote digestion and absorption. If your child is still taking formula milk, consider switching to a formula specifically designed for vomiting children. The dosage of medication varies depending on the child’s age or month of age. Please provide your child’s age so that we can give more accurate advice.
