Patient's question:
When the baby was three months old, they had green bowel movements, which indicated poor intestinal health. They had bowel movements several times a day, especially at night. Now that the baby is one year old, they are experiencing recurrent diarrhea and cannot stop taking medication.What kind of medicine should a one-year-old child take for diarrhea? I’m looking for something that doesn’t cause a relapse—I’m afraid the baby will get sick again.
Doctor's answer:
If a child has diarrhea, the first thing to do is to give them plenty of hot water to drink. Make sure their abdomen doesn't get cold. The diet should still focus on light and simple foods, avoiding overly cold, raw, or spicy and irritating foods. You can give the child probiotics to help regulate their digestive system. After using them, recovery usually happens gradually. Don't worry too much and maintain a calm and optimistic attitude.
