What should I do if my child has been having frequent diarrhea recently?

Patient's question:

The daughter is ten months old. Recently, she has been experiencing repeated episodes of diarrhea, vomiting, and digestive problems. Her diet is relatively light, mainly consisting of rice supplemented with seasonal vegetables and some meat. Occasionally, she eats some biscuits. She drinks 120 milliliters of milk in the morning, noon, and evening each day.

Doctor's answer:

Children with diarrhea must first rule out intestinal infections. A stool test is necessary. If the stool test shows white blood cells or red blood cells, then you need anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment. If the stool test is normal and it is just simple diarrhea, then it is usually okay for the child. In this case, oral medication can be taken along with dietary adjustments.
Advice: First, check the stool. Second, you can take anti-diarrheal medication. We spend a lot of time regulating intestinal probiotics. In terms of diet, avoid foods that easily cause diarrhea, such as eggs, milk, and meat. Cook foods to be soft and mushy. Lactose-free formula can replace regular formula for diarrhea.
