A child has been having diarrhea for a few days. How is it treated?

Patient's question:

The baby is still small, and they have loose stools with a bowel movement every day 78 times, and their stomach makes gurgling sounds. How should I treat it if the child has had loose stools for 10 months?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Abundant egg-like stool is often a sign of poor digestion, and probiotics or pancreatic enzyme powder can help alleviate it. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to check a stool routine to understand whether there is contamination by pathogens. Drink more water to prevent dehydration, pay attention to keeping warm, especially the abdomen, and if breastfeeding, the mother should avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as excessive salt intake. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a formal Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible based on their own condition. This is the only way to diagnose the condition accurately and recover quickly.
