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 cephalosporin antibiotic.

Additionally, you should encourage the child to drink warm water and gently massage their abdomen.
