Question

What causes childhood diarrhea? What dietary suggestions are there?

Answer

Childhood diarrhea can be caused by various factors, including bacterial or viral infections, food allergies, and lactose intolerance. For treatment, oral pancreatic enzyme powder and Biqui can be considered, along with Dinggui Erweitu patches to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, it’s important to keep the abdomen warm, reduce food intake, and provide light, easy-to-digest meals. Ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. Parents should monitor their child’s condition and seek medical treatment promptly to help the child recover health more quickly.
