Patient's question:
What should I do if I have diarrhea? Do I need to go to the hospital??Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea. In children, diarrhea is usually considered to be caused by indigestion, viral infections, lactose intolerance, or bacterial infections. Symptoms of diarrhea are recommended to be treated with oral probiotics like Bifidumbacterium infantis and Smecta. It is advised to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Oral rehydration salts can be used for treatment. If oral rehydration is ineffective, hospitalization for intravenous treatment is recommended.
