Food: Net food, steamed apple pectin, fruit and vegetable fiber dietary fiber sheet absorbs moisture in the intestine;
Nutrition: Probiotics, high-quality vegetable protein, vitamin B group;
Diarrhea, resulting in damage to the intestinal mucosa, intestinal probiotic, environmental destruction lactase, refeeding the principles and steps should be diarrhea from less to more then solids from liquid to semi-liquid;
Drug treatment:
- Prevention and treatment of dehydration: oral rehydration solution (ORS I, III), fluid volume (ml) = weight (kg) × (50 ~ 75), and should be at 4 hours orally End recommended in strict accordance with the amount of a predetermined liquid on the instructions correctly dilution.

When antibiotics and Microorganisms in conjunction with, the time interval required to take antibiotics can kill intestinal bacteria also kill beneficial microorganisms; both taking not only does not enhance the effect, but will reduce the effect.
Zinc, can accelerate the immune cell division, growth and regeneration, its enhanced phagocytic and bactericidal activity trends, and enhance the resistance by activation and enhanced activity of various enzymes zinc, and zinc can be observed in vivo levels of diarrhea a significant decline in zinc will help shorten the duration of diarrhea, reduce the severity of the risk of dehydration and diarrhea, and can prevent the recurrence of diarrhea within the next 2 to 3 months.
