Because the child's gastrointestinal system has not fully developed, their ability to resist bacterial infections is very weak. It is recommended to be hospitalized in the pediatric department for treatment to identify the specific type of bacterial infection. It is absolutely not advisable to self-medicate. For children with diarrhea, it is recommended to give them more warm water to drink, which can effectively prevent dehydration. It is important to wash hands frequently for the child, especially before and after meals, and ensure they eat clean and hygienic food.
