Treatment is generally achieved through dietary management. If bowel movements are normal, medications that protect the intestinal mucosa may be administered, along with probiotics to restore normal gut flora. In cases of severe diarrhea accompanied by dehydration in children, fluid and electrolyte replacement is essential; during this process, the child’s vital signs must be closely monitored.
