Patient's question:
My daughter is already one year old, but in the past month, she has been experiencing diarrhea, with two to three episodes per day. I consulted a nearby doctor, who said it's due to indigestion and prescribed some digestive medicine, which hasn't been effective. She is currently taking Montmorillonite powder and other digestive aids. Could you please share any advice from the experts? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea is a common and frequently occurring disease. During childhood, it is the second most prevalent disease after respiratory infections. Especially during the transition seasons of summer and autumn, severe cases may also cause fever. The main cause of persistent diarrhea in children is primarily infection, as it is usually due to bacterial or viral infections leading to gastrointestinal inflammation. Additionally, improper diet can also cause child diarrhea. We need to choose appropriate treatment methods based on the specific condition of the child.
