What should be done for infantile diarrhea with benign convulsions?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do about infantile diarrhea accompanied by benign convulsions?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described for your baby, it is likely that the recurrent seizures are caused by electrolyte imbalances due to nausea and vomiting. Generally, electrolyte imbalances, particularly a lack of calcium and magnesium, can trigger recurrent seizures. I recommend taking your baby to the hospital for a thorough check-up of their electrolyte levels and then administering electrolyte supplements. Currently, ensure your baby drinks plenty of fluids and avoid giving them greasy foods.
