What should I do if a child has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Many cases of mild diarrhea can heal on their own without the use of antibiotics or other anti-inflammatory medications. Alternatively, taking probiotics like Mimaier or adsorbent medications such as Smecta can also lead to a quick recovery. In particular, autumnal diarrhea, which is caused by viral infections, should not be treated with antibiotics, as this can be ineffective and even harmful. For bacterial dysentery or other bacterial diarrhea, antibiotics can be used, but treatment must be under the guidance of a doctor.
