Patient's question:
Doctor, my little boy is five years old this year. He is usually quite obedient and sensible, but recently he has had diarrhea and hasn't been eating or drinking. What should I do about a child with diarrhea who won't eat or drink? Are there any methods to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If your child only has diarrhea symptoms and no other fever or vomiting symptoms, you can give them oral Montmorillonite powder and probiotics. Take one-third of the bag of Montmorillonite powder three times a day, one hour before each meal. You can also choose probiotics to regulate intestinal function. Pay attention to urine output. If there are frequent, loose bowel movements and poor appetite, you should add oral rehydration solution to replenish lost fluids and prevent dehydration.
