Patient's question:
A one-year-old child has had diarrhea since yesterday, with three episodes. Today, the frequency has increased to six episodes. At noon, one-third of a package was taken twice. The stool is quite loose and sticky. Is this situation serious? Is it okay to take this medicine? How many days should it be taken?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Carefully observe the changes in BB's stool. If it shows improvement, you can continue the medication. If it remains the same after taking it for 2 days, consider changing the medication. If the medication brings normal results, you can consolidate it 1-2 times, but avoid overconsumption. If it still doesn't improve, it may be because your child has acute gastroenteritis. The medication you are taking is effective, but you may need to continue it for a few more days and wait to see. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm your child's condition and have a stool test done.
