Question
A one-year-old child has been experiencing diarrhea for a day, with diarrhea during the day but not at night, and the stool is not very loose. Medication has been taken, but the effect is not obvious, with about 4 episodes of diarrhea per day. Seeking appropriate assistance and advice on suitable medication.
Answer
Diarrhea in children may be related to catching a cold or improper care. Since the child is still very young, muscle injections and intravenous infusions may cause unnecessary pain. It is recommended that parents pay special attention to care and monitor the quality of breast milk. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention for intravenous treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, shorten the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and to replenish fluids. When providing complementary foods, temporarily stop or reduce the amount and gradually resume after the symptoms improve. It is especially important to avoid giving indigestible food to the child.
