Suggest Treatment For Chronic Diarrhea In A 1 Year Old Baby
Hi, My boy is 1 years old and has been having diarrhea since 25th April. We went to a pediatrician yesterday but the diarrhea has not stopped after taking the medicine 3 times since then. Should I seek another doctor advice ? What food should he avoid ? Thank you very much. Yours Sincerely, Kwan Wee Sim

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the child is having diarrhea continuously for more than 3 weeks along with malnutrition and weight loss, it is called chronic diarrhea.
Better consult a pediatritian for thorough investigation and treatment under his supervision.
Some times he may need hospital admission.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
