Patient's question:
My daughter is already one year old, but in the past month, she has been experiencing diarrhea, with two to three episodes per day. I consulted a nearby doctor, who said it's due to indigestion. They gave her some digestive medicine, but it hasn't been effective. She is currently taking Montmorillonite powder and other digestive aids. Could you please share any advice from the experts? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea is a common and frequently occurring illness. During childhood, it is the second most prevalent disease after respiratory infections. Particularly during the transition seasons of summer and autumn, severe cases may lead to fever. The main cause of persistent child diarrhea is infection, primarily due to bacterial or viral infections causing gastrointestinal inflammation. Additionally, improper diet can also result in child diarrhea. We need to select appropriate treatment methods based on the specific condition of the child.
