Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a child's diarrhea is caused by a bacterial infection, cefradine granules can be administered, or alternatively, gentamicin granules, roxithromycin granules, or amoxicillin may be used for treatment. In addition to antibiotics, it is recommended to take some smectite powder or probiotics to regulate the intestines. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a stool examination.
