Patient's question:
What if the baby has diarrhea after switching to formula? Can the formula still be consumed? Before switching to formula, sometimes the baby wouldn't have a bowel movement for three or four days, and it was difficult to go. After switching to formula, the baby has had three bowel movements a day, and they are like egg-like in appearance, very loose, and in large quantities. I would like to consult if the current formula can still be consumed? What kind of formula is better?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Generally, this situation rarely occurs. What kind of help is desired: Can the current formula still be consumed? What kind of formula is better?
Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,It is not advisable to necessarily use anti-diarrheal medication for children with diarrhea, as while nausea and vomiting may be alleviated after medication, the enhanced detoxification of intestinal toxins can lead to systemic toxicity. In addition to oral rehydration therapy for comprehensive prevention of dehydration and electrolyte disorders, you can consider using live bacterial preparations to restore the balance of the microecosystem.
Wishing the child a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
