What medicine is there to cure diarrhea in children?

If diarrhea occurs, it must be treated in time. However, since the symptoms and manifestations of each person are different, the drugs used in treatment are different. So what are the main drugs for treating diarrhea in clinical practice? Let's take a look at them together. I hope these contents can serve as a reference for everyone when buying medicine.

1. Antibiotics, but it is recommended that a doctor decide whether the child needs to use antibiotics, and it is not recommended for parents to use them on their children at home.

Second, you can supplement some vitamins or trace elements. The latest opinion of the World Health Organization points out that whether the child has acute diarrhea or chronic diarrhea, it is recommended to supplement him with zinc, because zinc can promote intestinal digestion, enhance immune function, prevent the recurrence of diarrhea, improve appetite, and promote the growth and development of children.

3. Mucosal protectant, which can absorb pathogens, promote the repair of intestinal mucosa, and can be used to treat watery stools.

4. Microecological preparations, such as bifidobacteria and compound lactic acid bacteria nutrients, can promote the reconstruction of normal intestinal flora. In the intestines of babies, especially infants, 95% are bifidobacteria, which form a mucosal protective layer to maintain normal intestinal peristalsis, and normal intestinal peristalsis can inhibit the attachment of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Bifidobacteria can also help digest some proteins, sugars, and fats, and have immune regulation functions.

The above content is about the introduction of drugs for treating diarrhea. When choosing these drugs, it is best to buy or take them under the guidance of relevant professional doctors and prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms. Do not use the medicine indiscriminately to avoid aggravating the development of the disease.
