Patient's question:
The son is 4 years old. Recently, he has eaten too many cold things and has had diarrhea for two days. At first, the stool was still quite liquid, but now it's all foamy. He can't eat anything and can only drink some plain congee. Could you please tell me what are the quick treatment methods for children's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
A 4-year-old child has diarrhea, most of which is caused by functional gastrointestinal dyspepsia. It could also be due to intestinal inflammation changes caused by bacterial infection. First, the abdomen should be kept warm, drink plenty of hot water, and avoid getting cold. You can choose to give the child some medication. Symptomatic treatment can also use physical therapy, such as heating pads, to relieve the symptoms of autonomic nervous system discomfort, mainly to prevent dehydration from occurring.
