What diarrhea medicine can i use for a 8 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to get checked: "plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of his symptoms, fever if any, any other associations if present (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), exposures, as well as his other medical co-morbidities. Call his doctor please & get him checked.
