Question

What medication should a child take for diarrhea?

Answer

Children’s diarrhea may be caused by catching a cold or due to intestinal flora imbalance. Intestinal flora imbalance is often caused by excessive use of antibiotics. It is recommended to visit a hospital’s diarrhea clinic for a check-up and to take medication that increases beneficial gut bacteria (such as bifidobacteria). In daily life, drinking yogurt can also help maintain gut health. Additionally, avoiding the consumption of sour, spicy, greasy foods can aid in the recovery of the gastrointestinal tract.
