Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing this situation for a long time, and I am very concerned. A 4-year-old child has had diarrhea for 2 months. Please seek medical help.

Doctor's answer:

Baby has diarrhea, should test the stool to see if it's a bacterial infection or a viral infection. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics are needed. If it's a viral infection, antibiotics are not required, only oral probiotics are needed. If there are accompanying symptoms such as fever, symptomatic treatment can be given. It's important to pay attention to avoid eating raw, cold, or irritating foods at all costs. Everything to eat and drink must be hot, including drinking water. Leftover food and cold dishes should not be eaten, and avoid sitting on cold benches in winter.
