How should I handle diarrhea in a nine-month-old child?

Patient's question:

Three days of diarrhea

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. The first step is to diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and may also consider giving them a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. If the diarrhea is severe and the medication is ineffective, it is necessary to start intravenous treatment promptly. Additionally, it is important to give the child plenty of warm water and gently massage their abdomen.
