What should I do if my child has diarrhea and it's like water?

Patient's question:

Recently, my child has been having diarrhea so severe that it's like water, with episodes every ten minutes. Drinking honey water only makes it worse, and they're experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, and even feeling like they want to vomit. What should the doctor do? I'm so worried!!!

Doctor's answer:

After reviewing your child's condition, based on your description, it is recommended to consider a diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis. Acute gastroenteritis refers to the recurrence of gastritis and enteritis after consuming unclean food. According to your description, your child has experienced frequent diarrhea, and it is advised to visit the hospital for a blood test and a stool test. Based on the results, the doctor can determine whether anti-inflammatory treatment or fluid therapy is necessary. Pay attention to diet in daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid extremely cold items, and take care to prevent colds.
