Diarrhea in a child

Diarrhea in a child i

s a common problem that can happen to any family, and the Dublin Health Clinic's Doctor Raveen Family GP is here to help. Diarrhea can cause dehydration, so it is important to keep the child hydrated by giving them water or an electrolyte solution. It is also important for parents to watch their child’s diet and limit certain food items that can be more difficult to digest such as processed foods, dairy products, and sugary snacks. Even more so, it is essential for parents to keep an eye out for symptoms that may be indicative of a more serious health issue such as fever, abdominal pain, and blood in the stool. Doctor Raveen Family GP can help parents find the most appropriate treatment plan for their child, and if necessary, refer the family to a specialist. At Dublin Health Clinic we are devoted to the health and wellness of our patients and want to ensure that all families have the resources and support they need to take care of their children.
