Patient's question:
What should I do about my baby's diarrhea? She is one year and two months old. She has had diarrhea for three days and hasn't taken any medicine yet. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child has recently been experiencing diarrhea. If the baby is in good spirits and can eat, oral rehydration salts can be given, along with plenty of water. If the baby is lethargic, not eating, and has excessive diarrhea, it is still recommended to receive intravenous treatment, along with gastrointestinal mucosal protectants and probiotics. It is important to keep the abdomen warm and feed the child warm food. Probiotics can be consumed, along with some porridge-like foods.
