Question
How to treat children’s diarrhea?
Answer
It is recommended to check if the diarrhea is caused by indigestion or enteritis. Also, be aware of whether there is gastrointestinal dysfunction due to a cold. If indigestion is the cause, oral medications such as Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Simida can be taken. In severe cases, consult a doctor and consider intravenous treatment. Extend the intervals between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and to replenish fluids. During the stage of introducing complementary foods, temporarily stop or reduce the amount of complementary foods until symptoms improve, and gradually resume while avoiding difficult-to-digest foods.
