Children with acute diarrhea can consume more liquid foods, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, and oatmeal. They can also eat moderate amounts of eggs, which may help solidify the stool. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of warm water. Acute diarrhea may be caused by consuming contaminated food; medications such as montmorillonite powder can be taken under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms. Abdominal pain can be relieved by gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction.
