Patient's question:
How long does it take for diarrhea medicine to be effective? I am very worried. The child's symptoms keep recurring, and they have already been checked. I hope the doctor can help us.Doctor's answer:
If you experience symptoms of diarrhea, it's still important to identify the specific cause of the diarrhea and then treat it accordingly with targeted medication, as this tends to yield better results. Pay attention to your diet in daily life, avoiding spicy, cold, and hot foods. Drink plenty of water and engage in appropriate exercise.If you are breastfeeding, medication is not the only solution—the mother should also follow a light diet, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, and greasy foods. It's best to minimize or reduce breastfeeding and can be replaced with rice water.
If you are using formula milk, you can try switching to a diarrhea-specific formula.
