How should babies take Smecta?

Patient's question:

The child's stool is soft and contains mucus, similar to phlegm. The baby is not eating solid food but only breastfeeding, but the baby is in good spirits. It has been about 3 days since the last bowel movement. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I bought Smecta for the baby, but the pharmacy staff said it must be taken at specific intervals...

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting require immediate medical attention, otherwise the consequences are beyond imagination. It is recommended to take Smecta and Bifidobacteria first. Pay close attention to your child's stool. If there are bubbles, it means inflammation has already started. The cephalosporin prescribed by the doctor is for treating enteritis. This medication is effective, but it is said to be an antibiotic, so it should not be given to the child once the inflammation has improved.
Adults: Take one packet each time, three times a day. Esophagitis patients should take it after meals: Other suitable patients should take it on an empty stomach between meals. For acute nausea and vomiting, take the medication immediately and double the dosage.
Children: Under 1 year old: Take one packet per day, divided into three doses. 1-2 years old: Take 1-2 packets per day, divided into three doses. Over 2 years old: Take 2-3 packets per day, divided into three doses.
Wishing your little one a speedy recovery!
