How should I handle infant diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My child doesn't know what he ate today and has been complaining of stomach pain. He also frequently runs to the bathroom. He told me his stool is loose. I think he probably has diarrhea and feel very sorry for him. I'd like to come and ask the doctor what to do about infant diarrhea.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: The occurrence of diarrhea in babies is mainly caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction. This can be determined by examining the child's stool routine to check for bacterial or viral infections. Based on the test results, it can be decided whether oral medication can be used for treatment. If the frequency of diarrhea increases, dehydration may occur, requiring fluid replacement therapy.
