Child with diarrhea, severe potassium deficiency, how to deal with it reasonably?

Patient's question:

The child ate leftover vegetables at home, and then started feeling stomach discomfort in the afternoon. It has been a full week now, and they have been having diarrhea continuously. They feel like they are about to faint. Please ask: What is the reasonable way to deal with severe potassium deficiency in children with diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, it is important to actively treat your diarrhea first, as other conditions may be self-healing. It is recommended to first carefully examine your stool to determine if it is due to functional dyspepsia or caused by inflammation and viral reasons, which may be self-healing. For children with diarrhea, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, traditional remedies can be used as supplementary therapy in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
