This can be achieved with good knowledge about self-medication, which is in turn influenced by level of education.

Questionnaires were used to assess the rationality of self-medication on children's diarrhea by the parents.

It was showed that of 40 respondents, 14 respondents (35%) performed rational self-medication on children's diarrhea and 26 respondents (65%). did not rationalize the treatment. The results of a bivariate test obtained a chi-square value of 9.808 (> 3.841) and a p value of 0.002 ( 3.841) and a p value of 0.000 ( |
