Question

My child has been crying a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. How should I treat frequent diarrhea in children?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, it’s considered likely that the diarrhea is caused by enteritis. I suggest you take your baby for a routine stool test to determine the cause before treatment. You can give your baby oral cefpodoxime dry suspension and Simeticon, and make sure they drink plenty of water to maintain hydration. Additionally, keeping the area around the anus clean is also important; you can use warm water for cleaning to prevent eczema. Parents should pay attention to their child’s diarrhea issues, treat them promptly, and adopt proper care methods to ensure the child recovers quickly and avoids affecting their growth and development.
