Hello, if a child has diarrhea, it's important to first determine whether it's an acute infectious disease, such as food poisoning or norovirus infection. If the diarrhea is accompanied by fever, it is absolutely not advisable to treat it at home without seeking medical advice. In such cases, it is recommended that the child seek medical attention promptly.If the child is experiencing recurrent diarrhea without other symptoms, it may be due to weakened gastrointestinal function. In this situation, you can strengthen the spleen and stomach with herbal remedies. In dietary therapy, foods like Chinese yam and broad beans can be included. Additionally, the method of "wrist rolling" () can help regulate and strengthen the child's spleen and stomach function, as well as their gastrointestinal function. Once the spleen and stomach function is restored, this can help alleviate the diarrhea.
