When children have diarrhea, water in their bodies will be lost rapidly. Instead of taking medicine, parents should replenish their children with water immediately and feed them warm water, sugar water or salt water.

2. Keep warm

After a child has diarrhea and watery stools, the intestines in the body are prone to spasm, causing abdominal pain. In order to relieve the child's stomach discomfort, parents should pay attention to keeping his stomach warm, apply hot compresses, massage or feed some warm drinks to prevent the abdomen from getting cold.

3. Eat in moderation

Parents should never stop feeding their children just because they have constant diarrhea.
