What medicine should children with diarrhea take?

Patient's question:

The child has been going to the toilet frequently these days. Later, I realized he has diarrhea. He looks very pale now, has no energy, and can't eat anything. I'm very worried about him. I want to buy some medicine for him, but I don't understand it very well. What medicine should children take for diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

If a child eats something or experiences nausea and vomiting due to some reason, it is necessary to consider whether they have eaten spoiled food or suffer from intestinal bacterial infection. If the child has diarrhea and pale complexion, it is necessary to consider intestinal inflammation. The tests that can be carefully examined include routine stool examination, in addition to blood tests, to comprehensively analyze whether the symptoms are caused by viral or bacterial infection. Basically, it is determined to control the pathogens, and then stabilize and adjust the normal intestinal bacteria.
