Specific medicine for diarrhea in children

Children's diarrhea is a group of diseases caused by multiple causes and factors. It is one of the diseases with the highest incidence in childhood. When many parents find that their baby has diarrhea, they will look for medicine in the family medicine cabinet, but they can only find adult diarrhea medicine. At this time, many parents choose to reduce the dosage of adult medicine for their children. In fact, this will cause great harm to the children and easily cause adverse drug reactions. Therefore, parents must be cautious when choosing medicine!

Experts point out that parents should pay attention to the following points when choosing antidiarrhea drugs for their children:

1. Choose medicines for children

Children's special medicines can follow the physiological characteristics and medication rules of children, and are developed in a targeted manner and undergo rigorous clinical trials. They have the advantages of reasonable ingredients, precise dosage, and higher drug safety level. However, at present, since many drugs in my country do not have special children's dosage forms, parents often adopt the helpless measure of "taking adult drugs in reduced dosages as appropriate", which often has risks such as inaccurate dosage and increased chance of adverse drug reactions. Therefore, for the treatment of diarrhea in children, parents should choose professional children's medicines. In addition, when choosing medicines, you can recognize children's special medicines marked with green OTC logos, which have the highest safety level in the drug classification and are safer to use.

2. Choose drugs with a wider range of indications

The causes of diarrhea in children are complex, such as indigestion, cold abdomen, and seasonal changes can lead to viral infections, which can cause diarrhea. Therefore, parents must distinguish the causes of diarrhea in children when choosing medicines, and choosing medicines according to the symptoms will help solve the problem. At present, most antidiarrheal drugs on the market can only treat a certain type of diarrhea. It is recommended to choose drugs with a wider range of indications, such as the newly launched professional children's antidiarrheal drug Dulailin, which can treat three common types of diarrhea in children, including cold diarrhea, food-induced diarrhea, and seasonal diarrhea.

3. Take into account both treatment and tonic

Children have a special constitution. In addition to stopping diarrhea, children's diarrhea also requires intestinal conditioning. Because children's body functions are still immature, diarrhea often leads to an imbalance of gastrointestinal flora and is accompanied by nutrient loss. If diarrhea medicine can regulate the intestines while stopping diarrhea, it can speed up the recovery of children's health. Take Dulailin as an example. In addition to being astringent and stopping diarrhea, the dry yeast it contains is rich in B vitamins, which helps promote the balance of intestinal flora and improve digestive function. The glucose added can also supplement children's nutrition, making it more suitable for children's physical characteristics.

In addition, in terms of dosage form selection, such as powders, granules, syrups, etc., they are easier for children to take; in terms of dosage, independent small bags are more conducive to accurate quantification, so that parents can choose the appropriate dosage according to the age of their children.
