Patient's question:
My nephew just turned three years old this year. Recently, he has been experiencing diarrhea, so I was wondering what might be causing it and what kind of medication could help treat it? If he keeps nausea and vomiting, will it significantly interfere with his physical and mental development?Doctor's answer:
Children with diarrhea may consider that their stomach has been chilled or that their intestines have become inflamed. Generally, children with diarrhea can be treated with oral Montmorillonite or probiotics. Children should drink more warm water and pay attention not to catch a cold. They also need to be careful to prevent children from getting cold. Children should not eat raw or cold food and should pay attention to a light diet for children. If it is serious, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination of the stool routine to identify the cause for targeted treatment. When necessary, intravenous antibiotics may be administered to prevent dehydration.
