How to stop diarreha in 5 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time: Most infectious diarrhea need time to subside. Do not use any antidirrheal agents to stop it. They cause more issues, especially toxemias due to keeping the infection inside. Lots of fluids to drink and keep an eye on the urine output. If urine is low or if child appears tired and weak, take him to the physician.
