What are the methods to stop diarrhea in children?

Children generally have weaker physical constitutions, and are prone to having problems from time to time, such as diarrhea. If a child has diarrhea, parents will be particularly worried, and the child will usually feel uncomfortable and cry all the time. This requires taking some anti-diarrhea measures for children. So, what are the anti-diarrhea methods for children? Here are some ways to stop diarrhea.

1. Diet therapy: For children with diarrhea, the amount of milk fed should be appropriately controlled, and older children should mainly eat pasta and rice soup. If the stool is large and like egg drop soup, you can boil black plums (available at pharmacies) with water, then add some tea leaves and a little sugar for the child to drink. This can help stop diarrhea and replenish water.

2. Foot soak: 20g of licorice (30g of fresh licorice is best), 10g of pomegranate peel (30g of fresh pomegranate peel). After boiling the water, soak your feet in it while it is warm, for about 20 minutes each time, twice a day. The premise is that routine stool examination shows no bacterial infection. Both hyssop and pomegranate peel are traditional Chinese medicines and have astringent effects. Children's skin is delicate and absorbs drugs well. When you soak your feet with these two medicines, the medicines can be absorbed through the skin and have a warm therapeutic effect, achieving the effect of astringing the intestines and stopping diarrhea.

3. Apply to the navel: For babies with diarrhea and foamy stools caused by cold, you can use 3g each of cinnamon and cloves, which are usually used as seasonings, grind them into fine powder, mix them with vinegar, and apply them on the navel. The ointment is fixed with adhesive tape with a layer of plastic film in the middle and changed daily. For those with adhesive tape, wrap it with 3 layers of clean gauze, put in the prepared medicine, and secure it with a bandage around the navel.

4. As soon as the baby eats greasy food, he will have bloating and abdominal pain, and then he will have to defecate. The feces are very smelly and mushy. This type of baby diarrhea can be treated with Baohe Pills plus some Shenqu, mountain dregs, and tangerine peel. If the abdominal distension is severe, costusroot, magnolia bark, etc. can be added as appropriate.

5. The baby's stool with diarrhea is clear and not smelly, the baby's hands and feet are often cold, the baby often has abdominal distension after meals, and often farts. It can be treated with Lizhong Decoction plus some Liujunzi Decoction, costus root, amomum villosum, and cloves.

6. If the baby has a sallow complexion, thin muscles, poor spirits, and often watery diarrhea, you can use Shenling Baizhu San or Qiwei Baizhu San to treat it.

7. If the baby's stool is dark and smelly, with mucus, and he is thirsty, has a poor appetite, is tired, and feels slightly hot, you can use Gegenqinlian Decoction with some Huoxiang and Peilan for treatment. If there are also symptoms of stinging when urinating, Liuyi Powder should be added.
