Patient's question:
My child is one year and two months old. They might have eaten a bit too much at dinner yesterday. They haven't started weaning yet, and today they started having very loose stools—about five times already. Whenever they eat something, they have a bowel movement, and whenever they pass gas, a little bit comes out. Can they take pediatric stomach-settling tablets?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: First, you must go to the hospital to check if there is bacterial or viral infection in your stool. If you cannot tolerate food or have poor digestion, you can adjust your diet, such as eating small meals more frequently, consuming easily digestible foods (e.g., congee), and adjusting noodles. You can take probiotics to regulate the gut microbiota. If you have poor appetite or abdominal bloating, you can eat what you said!Guidance: Hello. You can take probiotics orally to stop diarrhea. Oral probiotics can regulate the gastrointestinal tract. If your stomach is healthy, you can eat boiled eggs, fruit puree, and minced meat.
