Patient's question:
When it was already taboo to eat, but now it's a bit like having diarrhea. Approximately 3 to 4 times a day. Medical history and effectiveness: Haven't been treated yet. What kind of help do you want: Analyze the condition, find the cause, and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric diarrhea. If treatment is not properly administered, it often leads to twice the effort with half the result or even counterproductive outcomes. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for relevant tests to determine whether the diarrhea is caused by bacteria or a virus. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and the medication should only be stopped after three negative stool tests. Do not stop the medication too early to avoid the development of drug resistance. If the antibiotic treatment is not effective or the condition recurs, it is important to promptly conduct a stool culture to identify the type of bacteria and check for drug resistance. If the stool test shows no white blood cells, it is often caused by a viral infection or non-infectious diarrhea. For viral diarrhea, antibiotics and antidiarrheal medications are not necessary. Lining membrane-protecting agents can be used if appropriate, and the child's mental state should be monitored. It is important to record the quality and quantity of stool, whether vomiting occurs, and whether urine output decreases. Proper hydration and fluid supplementation should be ensured to prevent dehydration. For mildly affected children, under the guidance of a doctor, oral rehydration salts can be consumed in small, frequent amounts. For severely dehydrated infants, intravenous fluids may be required.
