Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea, it is recommended to check and test whether the stool is due to indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Simida should be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Drink more water. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or reduce the addition of supplementary foods. Gradually resume adding foods once symptoms improve. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
