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 reappear with nausea and vomiting. The main focus should be on the frequency of bowel movements each day, 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 each stool is loose and watery, you can take Montmorillonite clay powder or probiotics. If the stool is sticky, frothy, or contains blood streaks, it may be considered as enteritis. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant detailed examinations to confirm the diagnosis and determine if antibiotic treatment is needed for infection.
