Beyond Rehydration: Optimizing the Management of Acute Pediatric Diarrhea

Acute diarrhoea remains one of the most common reasons for paediatric consultations in primary care, placing a significant burden on children, caregivers, and healthcare systems. While oral rehydration therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, emerging evidence highlights the importance of adjunctive therapies that can help reduce symptom duration and improve patient outcomes.

Join leading paediatrician Dr S Bisetty for an interactive educational webinar. This session will provide practical, evidence-based guidance on the assessment and management of acute diarrhea in children, with a focus on identifying dehydration risk, recognising referral red flags, and implementing effective treatment strategies in everyday clinical practice.
