Question
My child has been frequently crying and showing a reduced appetite, with diarrhea persisting without improvement. I would like to inquire about the possible causes and solutions.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from chronic enteritis, leading to symptoms such as long-term abdominal bloating and diarrhea. It is recommended to recheck the stool routine. Simply taking probiotics may not be effective, and it is necessary to combine the use of drugs such as berberine and montmorillonite, and to pay attention to dietary adjustment to protect the intestinal mucosa. In addition, antibiotics, mucosal protectants, and microbiota regulators may be required for treatment. When caring for children with diarrhea, it is important to follow the principle of small and frequent meals, gradually increasing the amount and concentration of food.
