Question
My son is experiencing symptoms of autumn diarrhea, with frequent diarrhea. After five days of intravenous treatment, his condition is not good, his stool is yellowish and watery, and he has bowel movements multiple times a day, about 10 times. We have already tried medications like Mamyai and Simida, but they have been ineffective. What should we do for his care now? How long does this type of diarrhea usually last?
Answer
Autumn is a high season for childhood diarrhea, known as “autumn diarrhea.” The treatment principles include preventing dehydration, correcting dehydration, having a reasonable diet, and using appropriate medication. For children under 2 years old, feed them in small amounts multiple times, with about 1 to 2 spoonfuls of about 5 milliliters every 1 to 2 minutes; older children can drink directly from a cup.
