Patient's question:
One year old. These two old ones have diarrhea. Sometimes they have 4 to 5 bowel movements a day. Treatment history and effectiveness: No allergies, the doctor said it's just a bit of bloating. What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with the child's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Children with diarrhea are often caused by improper diet or infections inside or outside the intestines, leading to a comprehensive syndrome of digestive dysfunction. They can be treated with anti-diarrheal medication. To prevent dehydration in children, it is advisable to minimize food intake, or even fast, during frequent nausea and vomiting, allowing the gastrointestinal tract to rest. At the same time, oral rehydration salts or homemade sugar and salt water, or rice soup, should be taken in small amounts and multiple times to prevent further dehydration. Children with nausea and vomiting should pay attention to abdominal warmth to enhance intestinal peristalsis. A towel can be wrapped around the abdomen, or a cold compress with a hot water bag applied, while ensuring the infant gets plenty of rest.
