medicine for loose motion for 6 year old - #12828
I am kind of worried about my 6 year old who’s been having really bad loose motion for the past few days. He’s been going to the bathroom like every hour and it’s made him really tired and cranky. I took him to the pediatrician, and they said it could be a viral thing, but it’s hard to know for sure. They didn’t give me any specific medicine for loose motion for 6 year old, just told me to keep him hydrated and give him bland food. But like, he’s not eating much, and honestly, I’m freaking out a bit. I asked the doc if there’s any over-the-counter medicine for loose motion for 6 year old but they said to avoid it unless it’s super severe. I’m just not sure how severe we’re talking about! What’s the risk if he goes on like this? Should I be looking for a medicine for loose motion for 6 year old to help him out? His tummy seems kind of crampy too, and I don’t know if it’s normal or if I should be doing something more. Any advice or pointers on when to worry more and that medicine for loose motion for 6 year old, what’s safe? I just want my little guy to feel better soon!
