Pediatric diarrhea is generally associated with conditions such as the common cold and can be treated with oral administration of smectite powder or probiotics. If caused by gastrointestinal flu, Huoxiang Zhengqi Mixture may be used for treatment. If the condition progresses to dehydration, oral rehydration solutions and smectite powder can also be used. In daily life, patients should pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to avoid cold exposure.
