Patient's question:
My daughter is three years old this year, and she has been having diarrhea recently. The doctor prescribed Gentamicin Sulfate and Smecta. However, I feel that Gentamicin Sulfate might not be good for the child, as it could cause deafness. Could you please ask the doctor if this prescription is problematic?Please give me an accurate answer:
Thank you!!!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Doxycycline has significant side effects, so it is recommended to take oral Xiao Er Shi Kou San to stop diarrhea and Bifidobacterium Tetragen for adjusting the intestinal flora. If the diarrhea is severe, it is advised to go to the hospital for a routine stool examination to rule out rotavirus infection. If it is rotavirus infection, antibiotics should not be taken. It is recommended that your baby take Xiao Er Tou Bao Ke Luo. Make sure your child avoids cold and raw foods and eats warm, easily digestible foods. Wishing your baby a healthy and happy growth!
