Children's diarrhea should be treated according to its cause. For diarrhea caused by gastroenteritis, patients may experience abdominal pain and can be treated with medications such as smectite powder. If diarrhea results from indigestion, patients may choose adjunctive treatments such as acupuncture or umbilical patches. During episodes of diarrhea, patients need to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
