Question
My 8-year-old child has been suffering from diarrhea for the past month, sometimes watery, sometimes like beads, with a bit of egg flower-like consistency. We’ve taken them to the hospital, but nothing was found. What could be the cause?
Answer
I believe your child’s diarrhea is due to dyspepsia, often caused by catching a cold, extremely cold and hard stools, and unclean diet. I recommend giving your child oral probiotics and Bacillus cereus live bacteria capsules, drinking plenty of warm water, eating light and easy-to-digest foods, avoiding extremely cold and hard as well as spicy and irritating foods, eating in small and frequent meals, preventing overeating, and being mindful of staying warm, especially protecting the abdomen from catching a cold. I hope my explanation is helpful.
