A 20-day-old infant has diarrhea, with watery stools.

Patient's question:

These past few days, I've had diarrhea with watery stools and haven't sought medical attention.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. It is important to first confirm the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Regulator. You can also add a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. Once the diarrhea becomes severe and medication is ineffective, it is necessary to promptly start intravenous treatment.
