Patient's question:
This week, my son has been having diarrhea continuously, with little relief. I've given him a week off from school so he can rest at home properly. I want to buy medicine for him, but I'm not sure which medicine is good for diarrhea. Doctor, I'd like to ask you, what should I do if my child has diarrhea for a week and a half?Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many causes of diarrhea. It is not recommended to take medication at home. You can take your child to the hospital for a blood test. Check the specific source of infection and take corresponding medication for treatment. During recovery, the child should pay attention to regulation and eat less greasy and spicy foods. Drink some thin porridge or liquid foods. Additionally, it is important to ensure the child does not catch a cold according to weather changes and take the medication prescribed by the doctor for treatment.
