Question

The child has diarrhea with black streaks after taking calcium and zinc oral liquid. Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: The child takes one vial a day, divided into two doses. What kind of help do I need? Why does the child have diarrhea with black streaks?

Answer

Calcium and zinc oral liquid usually do not have gastrointestinal effects that would lead to an imbalance in the intestinal flora, causing nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to switch the child to other medications and to supplement with Vitamin D to enhance absorption. Additionally, consuming probiotics can help adjust the intestinal flora, which can stabilize bowel movements. Moreover, if the medication is stopped, these symptoms should no longer occur, so no special treatment is needed.
