Patient's question:
My son just turned 5 years old this year. I don't know why, but he has been having diarrhea all day today. Even though I helped him cover the blanket last night, I am very worried about his health. So, I would like to consult a doctor. Could you please tell me how to treat infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your question: Diarrhea in children is generally related to improper diet, cold exposure, and other reasons. It is recommended to first give the baby digestive and anti-diarrheal medication for symptomatic treatment, and you can also use an umbilical patch. In terms of diet, reduce intake appropriately and drink more water to avoid getting cold. Observe the situation, and if the child's symptoms do not improve, you can have a stool routine test to provide reasonable treatment.
