Question
My child has been experiencing diarrhea since yesterday afternoon and it continues today. Do I need to see a doctor? What could this be?
Answer
Diarrhea may be caused by abdominal coldness, consuming cold foods, or bacterial infections in the intestines. Based on your description, it is considered to be enteritis. It is recommended to adopt an anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal treatment plan, such as taking norfloxacin orally. Generally, you can take cefradine, compound difenoxin, and other medications for treatment, while also paying attention to abdominal warmth and increasing fluid intake. It is also important to pay attention to your child’s diet in daily life.
