Children with poor mental status after diarrhea can visit the pediatrics department at a regular hospital. If the cause is bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules may be taken under a doctor's guidance. If dehydration occurs, oral rehydration salts can be taken as directed by a physician. In addition, intravenous fluid administration may also be used to alleviate symptoms. Sufficient rest is recommended during treatment.
