Patient's question:
What medicine should children take for diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Due to the faster peristalsis of the child's gastrointestinal tract, the number of bowel movements per day will be higher, which aligns with the characteristics of the gastrointestinal function in children. If the child is able to eat, sleep well, and maintains a good mental state with normal weight growth, it is considered physiological diarrhea and does not require treatment. If there is poor appetite and a poor mental state, it is related to a disease and needs timely treatment. Commonly used medications include Smecta, Lizhu Changeling, and Xiao'er Jianpi Koufuye, among others. Generally, it can be cured within 3-5 days.
