Patient's question:
How can we prevent and care for infant diarrhea? My baby has been experiencing symptoms of diarrhea for the past few days. When I feed him, he doesn't seem very interested in eating, and he's always looking tired and drowsy. His face is a bit pale. What should I do now according to the doctor?Doctor's answer:
Children with diarrhea should first go to the hospital to check their stool, because diarrhea can be caused by intestinal inflammation, indigestion, and colds. This situation requires oral medication under the guidance of a doctor, mainly to prevent dehydration and acid-base imbalance. If necessary, intravenous fluid therapy can be adopted. Pay attention to keeping warm rather than getting cold, and try to eat easily digestible foods. If dehydration occurs, it is necessary to seek medical treatment.
