Do you lose water when you have diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I've had diarrhea for three days. The first two days weren't serious, only three times a day. But by 6 PM today, I've had it six times. In the morning, it was sticky and had curds, and in the afternoon, it was watery. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am very happy to help you answer your question: In this case, it is necessary to consider a hospital examination of the stool routine to determine if there is a possibility of bacterial infection. If there is a bacterial infection, then this situation needs to consider taking antimicrobial drugs for treatment. During the treatment period, it can also be considered to use probiotics and other drugs for treatment. Currently, it is recommended to definitely supplement the child with water and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
