Patient's question:
Your friend's child has been having diarrhea recently, and it hasn't improved even after taking medicine. What should you do about children with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The baby has experienced diarrhea again, which might be caused by improper feeding. It is relatively easy for the frequency and consistency of bowel movements to change again. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral treatment is necessary. If it is due to electrolyte imbalance and symptoms of dehydration, it poses a significant threat to the baby's growth and health. In such cases, it is recommended to decide on intravenous drip treatment.
