What should I do if my child has diarrhea and loose stools?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing symptoms of diarrhea and loose stools since last night. We have applied some medications specifically for treating children's diarrhea and loose stools, but the symptoms have not improved. Because the child is very young, we are cautious about giving him any medication indiscriminately. However, seeing him suffer from such severe diarrhea, we still feel helpless. Therefore, I would like to ask how to deal with diarrhea and loose stools in children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: If there is diarrhea and vomiting, in this case, it is mostly considered to be caused by indigestion or acute gastroenteritis. It is still necessary to actively go to the hospital to determine the specific situation, as the results will be more noticeable. Pay attention to preventing dehydration in children, and if there is vomiting or oliguria, intravenous treatment is recommended.
