Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should I do if a 17-month-old child has yellow, watery diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Considering the child has gastroenteritis, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up, including blood tests and a thorough examination of the stool. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, targeted symptomatic treatment should be considered. If there is inflammation, it is advisable to consider antibiotics for active anti-inflammatory treatment, while also supplementing with probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and other medications to provide symptomatic relief. Drink some warm water and consume easily digestible foods like white rice porridge and millet porridge in the near future.
