Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. Yesterday, I bought plums that were very delicious, so she ate a lot of them when I wasn't looking. As a result, she has had diarrhea today, with very loose stools, and her stomach also hurts. She has been going to the bathroom a lot today. I want to ask what medicine is used for infant diarrhea. We only have medicine for constipation at home?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you answer your question: In the situation you mentioned, it mainly depends on what caused the child's diarrhea. Generally, children's diarrhea is caused by improper diet. If the child also has stomach pain, you need to add an anti-inflammatory drug. Commonly used ones include cephalosporins plus montmorillonite powder. In these days, the baby's diet needs special attention. Try to eat foods that aid digestion as much as possible. Avoid cold and raw foods.
