Patient's question:
My child doesn't know if they ate something dirty somewhere, and they started having diarrhea on Friday afternoon, which has continued until today. Please ask: What medicine is effective for children with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of infantile diarrhea are loose stools and an increasing frequency of bowel movements. The stool may resemble egg drop soup or foam, and can be yellow-green in color, or mixed with a small amount of mucus and undigested substances resembling soap pieces. Nausea and dry vomiting may occasionally occur. If a stool test shows no problems, it could be due to indigestion. In this case, the conventional treatment for nausea and vomiting includes Montmorillonite, Jindouqi, probiotics, or triple live bacteria powder. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used as an auxiliary treatment. You can also try switching to a nausea and vomiting formula milk. A light diet that is easy to digest is recommended, along with appropriate amounts of water and rice soup to prevent dehydration. There are many treatments for infantile diarrhea, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose the patient as soon as possible to provide targeted treatment.
