Patient's question:
Our baby is six years old this year. He has never been sick before, but in the past year, he has started having intermittent diarrhea. We are also very careful about hygiene when feeding him. Why is this happening again? I would like to consult on how to deal with children's diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Most cases of diarrhea are caused by poor nutrition. You can give your baby oral supplements that help with digestion, strengthen the stomach, and stop diarrhea for treatment. Actively treat and prevent dehydration in babies. If there is no improvement after two days of medication, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for a thorough examination. Treatment can be adjusted based on the examination results. Eat more nutrient-rich foods and avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods. You can also gently massage your baby's abdomen in a counterclockwise direction, which can also be somewhat helpful.
