Patient's question:
The child has had diarrhea for several days, and the diarrhea medicine hasn't been very effective. What should I do?Previous treatment history and effectiveness:
Before, the child's stomach was always fine; they had never had stomach problems.
Help needed:
How to feed the child with diarrhea now.
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is related to enteritis, improper feeding, changes in weather, and viral or bacterial infections. The child can take probiotics, bentonite powder, and other medications to regulate gastrointestinal function. Oral rehydration solutions can also be used in conjunction to prevent dehydration. If the child has severe diarrhea and has experienced dehydration, acidosis, and hypokalemia again, it may be necessary to consider intravenous treatment.
