What should I do if there is infantile diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if my infant or toddler has diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children may again exhibit symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Generally, it is important to carefully observe whether there is a recurrence of large amounts of watery stools. If there is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, it is usually necessary to carefully monitor for signs of dehydration. Intravenous fluid replacement can be used to replenish blood volume, stabilize microcirculation, and replenish body fluids. It is also important to pay attention to preventing colds and being cautious of catching a cold.
