Question
Lately, my child has been experiencing diarrhea with watery stools, but there’s no pain in the abdomen. Previous treatment and its effects: bought medicine and took it; what kind of help is needed: how can we make it better.
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms and medical history, poor digestion is considered to be the cause, but the possibility of enteritis cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a stool test to rule out enteritis. If there is no enteritis, the problem is not serious, and treatment can be administered with oral probiotics and other medications. Pay attention not to take the medicine with hot water, and the child’s symptoms will gradually stabilize. If it is enteritis, then anti-inflammatory medication will be required.
