Having diarrhea for many days, but does weight gain require medication?

Patient's question:

Started having diarrhea on day 70, foamy, watery, with curds, sometimes, no medical treatment.

Doctor's answer:

From the description above, it may be physiological diarrhea. The child is in good spirits, able to eat and sleep well. I don't know if they are currently being breastfed. If so, you can try temporary artificial feeding first. Alternatively, you could give them medication to regulate the gut flora. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is confirmed to have a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including supporting gastrointestinal decompression, and developing good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in the child and ensure a balanced diet.
