Patient's question:
My son has had diarrhea for 75 days, and I am very worried. The symptoms keep recurring, and we have already had him checked. I hope the doctor can help us.Doctor's answer:
First, treat the primary disease. Second, correct dehydration and electrolyte disorders. Third, provide the child with appropriate calories and protein as soon as possible to correct malnutrition and maintain nutritional therapy. Antibiotics should not be used for chronic diarrhea in children, except when there are pathogenic bacteria found in stool tests. Anti-diarrheal agents are generally ineffective for chronic diarrhea. It is recommended that you first go to a formal and professional hospital for examination before treatment.
