Patient's question:
The baby doesn't know what he ate at school today. He has been having diarrhea at home all day, with no other symptoms. What should I do if a 9-year-old child has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children have again developed symptoms of diarrhea, which is usually caused by a recurrence of bacterial infection in the intestines. If they contract intestinal inflammation, it can lead to an increase in bowel movements and the reappearance of nausea and vomiting. Oral antibiotics can be taken to implement anti-inflammatory treatment. If the frequency of bowel movements is high and the stool is watery, intravenous fluids should also be administered to aid in the circulation of blood in the body and stabilize the microcirculation.
