Patient's question:
When the child had diarrhea for two or three days, they went to the hospital for an intravenous drip and then took medicine for two days, which showed some improvement. But now the diarrhea has started again. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
If this child has viral diarrhea with severe symptoms, reduced urine output, poor mental state, and signs of dehydration, they need to be treated by doctors at our hospital. If the child's stool is sticky and resembles beans, it indicates bacterial infection, and a stool test is required. If there are confirmed white blood cells in the stool, antibiotic treatment is necessary.There is also a portion of diarrhea that may be related to indigestion. After consuming foods that cause indigestion, dietary adjustments can often lead to a quick recovery.
