Answer 1

Diarrhea has many causes and may be mild to severe. Childhood diarrhea is usually caused by infection; however, an improper diet, malabsorption, and various enteropathies can also cause the condition. Diarrhea is usually self-limited; however, improper management of an acute infection can lead to a protracted course. By far, the most common complication of diarrhea is dehydration.

Since most infectious diarrhea is self-limiting, medical care is primarily supportive. Oral rehydration (OR) is the mainstay of treatment for all children affected by diarrhea; never neglect OR, even in the absence of overt dehydration, because maintaining hydration is necessary. Neonates and young infants are at high risk of secondary complications and require close monitoring. Consider intravenous rehydration only in the unlikely event that OR is unsuccessful.


Antimotility agents (eg. Imodium) are not indicated routinely for infectious diarrhea, except for refractory cases of Cryptosporidium infection.

Antimicrobial therapy is indicated for some nonviral diarrhea, since most is self-limiting and does not require therapy.

Diet: Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast diet (BRAT)

If diarrhea persist consult your Doctor

Answer 3

its very vague to talk about diarrhoea in general.three question u need to ask before evaluating case of diarrhoea are
1 am i dealing with acute or chronic case
2 what is age of patient
3 are there complication like dehydration,dyselectrolytemia,infection associated
4 am i dealing with infective,malabsorbtion,other case.
since question is too vague you will need 100 pages to answer ur question in detail
let me take your question as most common of all above
that is acute viral diarrhoea in children which accounts for more than 75% of diarrhoea illness.
principles of management here are
a. prevent,detect and treat dehydration and dyselectrolytemia with appropriate rehydration solutions
this includes home based preparation or WHO ORS
in children with non cholera diarrhoea currently recommended are low osmalality WHO ORS
sever dehydration patient need hospitalisation and intravenous fluid correction.
malnourished children need special attention and slightly different ORS like RESoMAL(has more potassium and less sodium) they are more risk of silent infection leading too fatal septic shock and death.this patients need early antibiotics even in absence of evidence of sepsis.
role of GUT flora medication and antisecretory agent like rececodotril are not well established.though my experience with use of rececadotril is good in secretory diarrhoea.
their is absolutely no role of antibiotic and antimortility agents in viral diarrhoea.antimortility (lomofen,lomotil or loperamide)agents are contraindicated and are harm full instead.

Answer 4

It is ORS (or Oral Rehydration Solution). if you dont get it at the chemist. Prepare by mixing sufficient sugar ( 5 spoons or more) some salt in a litre of water.
For complications or prolonged prob must check with a doctor.

Answer 5

Imodium is a very good over the counter remedy. I have ulcerative colits and suffer from bouts of diarrhea. Imodium contains the active ingredient loperamide hydrochloride.

Answer 6

ORS is the best!
Oral rehydrating salts.

Diarrhoea causes u to lose a lot of water. So, drink a lot of water and use ORS if nessecery.

I usually use chinese medicine, it works though.
