Our child is just fifteen months old and has been doing well until recently. However, for some unknown reason, they’ve started experiencing diarrhea, which isn’t severe but is quite concerning. What should we do? This is usually caused by underdeveloped gastrointestinal function or improper diet, leading to dysentery. It is suggested to administer some digestive medications for treatment, but this must be done under a doctor’s guidance.
