Diarrhea has been going on all day, what should I do?

Patient's question:

A one-year-old child has diarrhea; it's not too watery; it happens during the day but not at night. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: Taking medicine had no significant effect; it occurs 4 times a day. What kind of help is desired: What medicine should be taken?

Doctor's answer:

The child's diarrhea may be related to catching a cold and improper care. The child is too young, and muscle injections and intravenous drips would be too painful. It is recommended that you pay special attention to the child's care and monitor the quality of breast milk. If the condition is severe, see a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the feeding intervals. Allow the digestive system to rest. Drink more water. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or increase the amount provided. Gradually return to normal after recovery. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
