Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been 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 physical examination, including blood tests and a detailed check of the stool. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, targeted symptomatic treatment should be considered. If there is inflammation, it is advisable to consider medication with antibiotics for active anti-inflammatory treatment, while also combining probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and other drugs for symptomatic treatment. Drink some warm water and consume easily digestible foods like white rice porridge and millet porridge in the near future.
