Patient's question:
Since yesterday, the child has had some stomach discomfort and stomach pain, and has also been experiencing diarrhea. They have taken many anti-diarrheal medications, but they haven't been effective. From last night to this morning, the child has already had diarrhea more than ten times. The child is showing some signs of dehydration. Hello doctor, what should be done about the child's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Since there is a symptom of dehydration, it is necessary to drink more water. If it is not possible to get to shore, intravenous infusion may be required to replenish fluids. At the same time, a thorough examination should be conducted to identify the cause of nausea and vomiting for treatment. If the enteritis is caused by an infectious factor, antibiotics should be used for treatment. Avoid consuming extremely cold foods and eliminate the triggers for nausea and vomiting, which will facilitate recovery. Acupuncture therapy can also be considered.
