Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, the child keeps running to the toilet, and even after taking anti-diarrheal medication, it hasn't been very effective. Now the child is almost dehydrated. Among the several pediatric diarrhea treatments you have, which ones are relatively effective? Can you explain a bit?Doctor's answer:
If a child has severe nausea and vomiting, it is best to go to the hospital to check their stool to see if it is caused by an inflammatory infection or indigestion. If it is caused by an inflammatory infection, they should take anti-inflammatory medication promptly for treatment. If it is caused by indigestion, they need to take medication that aids in absorption. In cases of severe diarrhea, they may also need to take medication to stop diarrhea and tighten the intestines.
