Patient's question:
The baby started attending kindergarten. Yesterday after school, they had diarrhea. I don't know if it was something they ate at school that wasn't clean. They keep crying, and it's really heart-wrenching to see. I want to ask the doctor what to pay attention to when a child has diarrhea and if there are any good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Children's diarrhea may be caused by gastrointestinal inflammation. For example, if you eat cold and unclean food, it is recommended to give the child oral anti-inflammatory drugs and adsorbent antidiarrheal drugs. For symptomatic treatment, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, it is essential to seek medical attention. Take medication under this guidance, and during this period, pay attention to replenishing fluids to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance caused by diarrhea. The diet should be based on easily digestible soft foods.
