Answer
After reading your description, I have a basic understanding of your child’s condition. Based on the child’s age and the nature of the stool, it is more inclined to be a confirmed case of pediatric diarrhea. Pediatric diarrhea is caused by rotavirus infection and usually occurs in children aged 6 months to 2 years. The stool is loose and looks like egg flower soup. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a stool routine check to clarify the diagnosis before treatment. Treatment generally includes antiviral therapy, comprehensive prevention and treatment of dehydration, and oral medication to nourish the intestinal flora.
