How should a 2-year-old child take medicine for diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing this situation for a long time, and I am very concerned. A 2-year-old child has diarrhea, which is very severe. Please help from the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you check for infantile diarrhea again and have a stool test to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. It is advised to apply warm compresses to the abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction, use topical Chinese medicine patches for acupoint application, and take probiotics orally. For intestinal inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary. Regardless of the illness, it is essential to seek medical examination and treatment. Avoid stimulating foods and refrain from drinking strong alcohol and other irritating foods. Pay attention to drinking more water regularly.
