Patient's question:
Since May 4th, I've had diarrhea with watery and thick substances. I took anti-diarrheal medicine for three days, but it didn't work well. What should I do about my baby's watery stools?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for a detailed stool examination and testing before determining the specific treatment methods and medications. The health of the digestive system determines whether the child can grow and develop healthily. Since the child's body is not fully developed, its digestive function is relatively weaker. In daily life, if dietary hygiene is not paid attention to, eating unclean food, or not paying attention to personal hygiene and eating without washing hands frequently, it is very easy to get infected with bacteria, which can then trigger diarrhea, leading to the child experiencing watery bowel movements. If not treated promptly, it can easily cause the child to become dehydrated.
