What to Do If a Child Often Has Diarrhea?

If a child often has diarrhea, with watery stools every few days, it may be caused by catching a cold, breastmilk-induced diarrhea, or viral infection. It is recommended to pay attention to rational feeding, maintain the cleanliness of the baby’s milk intake, avoid catching a cold, and can take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Simeta and umbilical cord plaster.
