Patient's question:
My baby is now over one year old, but for some reason, I've recently noticed that he has been having some diarrhea. Previously, he only had a bowel movement every 1-2 days, but today he had several bowel movements in just one day, and they were particularly watery. So, I wanted to ask how to deal with diarrhea in children?Doctor's answer:
For a one-year-old baby experiencing diarrhea, it is recommended that you can give the baby oral lactobacillus-based medication or apply an anti-diarrhea patch. You can use a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the child's abdomen and perform clockwise abdominal massage. You should give the baby more plain water to drink, and they can eat some scrambled eggs or iron-fortified rice. Pay attention to hygiene and give the baby a bath every day. Be cautious of cold exposure and dress the child in more clothes to avoid catching a cold.
