Question
My son is 28 years old and has been having diarrhea five times a day for four consecutive days. What should I do? How about the past treatment and its effectiveness?
Answer
Diarrhea in pediatrics is often related to viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in weather, significant temperature differences, increased intestinal peristalsis after catching a cold, and other factors. It is recommended to conduct further regular stool examinations and adjust dietary and medication treatments as needed. If diagnosed with enteritis, additional symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. At the same time, you can use a navel patch to relieve symptoms, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
