Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea
My child just got diarrhea and we are getting on the road to return home. I have a 2 mg loperamide tablet...he is 3 and a half y/o- can I give him a piece of that so I can avoid major car issues? Will it hurt him?

HI
Well come to HCM
Most of the diarrhea in this age is self limiting, giving Loperamide is not good idea because this could cause some bad side effects, only hydration is matter in this case else this is just nothing to worry, checking diarrhea is not good, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
