Patient's question:
What should I do if a one-year-old child has diarrhea? Mainly, the child is currently too young, and if I directly give him some medication to treat it, I'm afraid it will cause harm to his body, especially I'm afraid it will damage his liver and kidney function. So, what should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old child has experienced multiple episodes of nausea and vomiting. How many times does he have diarrhea in a day? If the diarrhea occurs fewer than three times, it is still recommended to see a doctor for medication. The child is too young, and when giving medication, the doctor prescribes it based on his weight and dosage, never saying that taking medication will definitely have an adverse effect on his body. If the diarrhea is severe, not giving him medication can lead to dehydration, which would make the situation worse. Follow the doctor's advice and provide him with plenty of fluids, while carefully monitoring his condition.
