Question

What are the treatment methods for infant and toddler diarrhea?

Answer

The treatment methods for infant and toddler diarrhea include oral rehydration, adjusting diet, and appropriate medication. If the baby maintains a good mental state, has an unchanged appetite, increased food intake, but with an increased frequency of bowel movements and symptoms of indigestion, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for testing, such as routine stool examination, so that treatment can be implemented under the guidance of a doctor. Moreover, since the digestive system of infants and toddlers is not fully developed, the secretion of digestive enzymes is less, and their tolerance to food is poor, it is important to avoid sudden changes in the quality and quantity of food and to pay attention to supplementing nutrients to meet the needs of growth and development.
