Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Pediatric diarrhea lasting for half a month should be treated according to its underlying cause. For diarrhea caused by gastroenteritis, if the patient experiences abdominal pain, medications such as smectite powder may be used. If the diarrhea is due to indigestion, oral probiotics can be administered. During treatment, the patient should avoid consuming irritating foods and ensure adequate sleep.
