How to treat diarrhea in a one-year-old and four-month-old child

Patient's question:

Diarrhea for three or four days now, haven't gone to the hospital, just drank some anti-diarrheal medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby diarrhea is often caused by colds, breast milk diarrhea, viral infections, enteritis, or dysbiosis. Attention should be paid to reasonable feeding, ensuring the hygiene of the baby's milk intake, and avoiding colds. Simethicone can be taken, and pediatric umbilical patches can be used for symptomatic treatment. If necessary, a routine stool examination should be performed at the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
