Patient's question:
How to quickly treat baby diarrhea? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
A child with diarrhea must pay close attention to hygiene. Parents should wash their hands thoroughly before and after caring for the child to prevent cross-infection. Child-related items such as utensils, toys, and tableware should be washed and disinfected, especially bottles, which should be cleaned immediately after each use and preferably disinfected at high temperatures for 20 minutes. For older children (around 2 years old), utensils should be kept separate from adults. Diapering equipment used by children with diarrhea must be thoroughly disinfected. For non-infectious childhood diarrhea caused by improper diet or sudden changes in weather, antibiotics are ineffective. For rotavirus-induced autumnal diarrhea, most children can recover with proper fluid replacement, the use of probiotics and mucosal protectants.
