The stool is watery with mucus, and there's a rumbling sound in the abdomen. He usually has a bowel movement shortly after feeding.Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea. The symptoms of diarrhea in children are generally considered to be caused by factors such as indigestion, viral infections, lactose intolerance, and bacterial infections. It is recommended to take probiotics like Bifidus and Smecta orally to treat diarrhea. Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and if oral rehydration salts are ineffective, seek medical treatment with intravenous fluids. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
