Question
For the past two days, the child has been experiencing diarrhea, and there has been severe abdominal pain before each episode. Yesterday, the frequency of diarrhea was high, but it has decreased today. The child has never received any related treatment. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, this may be due to indigestion, resulting in abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. This is often caused by catching a cold or consuming unclean food. It is recommended to take oral medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate symptoms and drink plenty of warm water. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding cold, hard, or irritating foods. Adopt a small and frequent eating pattern, and pay attention to staying warm to prevent catching a cold. If the symptoms do not improve, please consult a doctor promptly.
