loose motion medicine for 10 year old - #14977
I am really worried about my 10-year-old who has been having some serious issues with loose motion. This started a couple days ago after she ate something I think was a little off, maybe at a birthday party. At first, I thought it would just pass, you know how kids can be, but then it got worse. She’s been running to the bathroom like every 20 minutes or so! It’s super stressful. We took her to the doc, and they said it could be a viral thing, but they didn’t give us any loose motion medicine for 10-year-old. Instead, they just told us to keep her hydrated, which we’ve been trying, but she’s a bit nauseous and doesn’t wanna drink much water. I tried giving her some clear soup, but almost no luck there. Is there really no loose motion medicine for 10-year-old kids that we can safely give her? I found some over-the-counter stuff at the pharmacy, but now I’m second-guessing myself. Are those safe for her age? What are the best things to do while waiting for this to get better? Should I worry more if she continues with it much longer or what? It all feels so confusing. Any advice would really be appreciated!
