medicine for loose motion for 10 year old - #17613

Tara

I am feeling super worried because my 10-year-old has been having loose motions for the last two days. It started out of nowhere! One minute he was perfectly fine and then BAM, he was complaining of stomach cramps and running to the bathroom. We thought it might just be something he ate, but now it's been non-stop. We tried to keep him hydrated with water and ORS, but he just keeps losing fluids. I read online about several medicines for loose motion for 10 year old kids but I’m not sure which one to trust or if they are safe for him. The local pharmacy suggested a couple of syrups, but I don’t really feel comfortable without knowing more. He didn’t have a fever or anything, but he looks so tired. I’m wondering, is there any specific medicine for loose motion for 10 year old children that could help? Also, what should I be careful about? I’m worried about him missing school, too. I really hope this passes quickly. Just want the best options that are easy on his little tummy and don’t give any side effects. Should I be concerned if it lasts a bit longer or is it common for kids? Any advice would be super appreciated!

Doctors' responses

In the absence of fever or more serious symptoms, acute diarrhea in children is commonly caused by viral infections and often resolves within a few days on its own with proper care and hydration. You’re doing the right thing by ensuring he stays hydrated with water and oral rehydration solutions (ORS), as this is crucial to prevent dehydration. When it comes to medications, it’s important to be cautious. Generally, medications like anti-diarrheals are not recommended for young children unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider. These medications might sometimes worsen symptoms by inhibiting the natural clearing of the virus or bacteria from the intestines. Zinc supplements may be considered as they could potentially shorten the duration of symptoms and lessen their severity, but it’s best to consult with a pediatrician for the proper dosage. Keep offering fluids frequently and consider offering a bland diet that includes simple foods like rice, bananas, and applesauce—easily digestible and gentle on the stomach. Monitor for any red flags such as a persistently high fever, blood in stools, or signs of dehydration like dry mouth, sunken eyes, or decreased urination; these warrant prompt medical attention. Also, please consider having your child see a healthcare professional if the symptoms persist beyond a few days or seem to worsen. Regarding school, rest is important during recovery, so ensure he gets adequate downtime to recuperate. This will also help prevent the spread of any potential infectious cause to his classmates.
