A 2-year-old child has had diarrhea for 4 days without fever or vomiting. Stool tests are normal. They have been taking Montmorillonite powder and applying abdominal patches, but there has been no improvement. The child sometimes cries and complains of stomach pain, having 2 to 3 bowel movements daily. This is diarrhea and intestinal cramping. Medications such as hyoscyamine tablets and abdominal heat therapy can be used. Pay attention to warm and light meals, and avoid abdominal coldness. Follow up for further evaluation. Additional note: For the child's diarrhea symptoms, it is recommended to frequently give them honey water to regulate the intestines and control bacterial infections.
