Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should I do if the infant's diarrhea doesn't improve?Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing diarrhea may be due to acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet. The main symptoms of acute gastroenteritis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and watery stools, occurring several times a day, or even up to ten times. Montmorillonite can be taken orally to stop diarrhea, probiotics can help regulate the intestinal flora, and intravenous fluids can be administered to maintain electrolyte balance. If the child's diarrhea does not improve, a routine stool examination should be conducted at the hospital. If bacterial infection is present, antibiotics should be used for treatment. Pay attention to dietary hygiene, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy foods.
