My child is eight years old. For the past two weeks, they have been having diarrhea. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

My child is eight years old, and for the past two weeks, he has been having diarrhea. Sometimes it's watery, and sometimes it looks like abacus beads with a bit of egg-like texture. When we went to the hospital, they found nothing wrong. Could you please tell me what might be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

I believe your baby's nausea and vomiting are caused by indigestion, mostly due to catching a cold, extremely cold and hard bowel movements, or unclean diet. I suggest giving your baby oral probiotics and spore-forming bacillus capsules, drinking plenty of warm water, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold and hard as well as spicy and other irritating foods, eating small meals frequently to prevent overeating, and paying attention to keeping warm to prevent catching a cold, especially in the abdomen. I hope my explanation brings you some help.
