Question
Symptoms: The child has been experiencing this condition for nearly a week. Previous treatment and results: Some medications have been effective. Help needed: The main concern is how to ensure the child drinks water and how to calm the child.
Answer
First, soothe the child’s emotions to avoid exacerbating the condition through crying. Distract the child to alleviate discomfort. Keep the child’s bottom clean, wash it with warm water, and avoid rubbing too hard to prevent redness and swelling. In severe cases, apply a red streptococcus eye ointment after washing. Give the child a drink containing probiotics, such as “Mamilove,” which can help alleviate diarrhea. Mix 1-2 bags with water at about 40°C and have them drink it daily.
