Patient's question:
I have a little one at home, who just turned one year old. Recently, he has had intermittent diarrhea for about four or five days. His spirits are quite good, and he is still nursing well, but the diarrhea hasn't shown any signs of improvement. I would like to consult about what medication is suitable for a one-year-old child with diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Children experience nausea and vomiting again. The main focus should be on the frequency of bowel movements daily, the amount of each bowel movement, and the appearance of the stool, such as watery, mucus-like, or containing blood streaks. If the bowel movement frequency is high and the stool is loose or watery, you can take Montmorillonite clay powder or probiotics. If the stool is sticky, frothy, or contains blood streaks, it may be indicative of enteritis. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine if antibiotic treatment is necessary for infection.
