Patient's question:
The child has had diarrhea for two weeks. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The child had a stool test done at the hospital, which showed yellowish stool. The pediatric diarrhea medication prescribed by the doctor did not help. How can I assist: Hello, how should I treat diarrhea in a four-month-old child...Doctor's answer:
Consider a stool test to confirm whether it is pediatric indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or fever-induced intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is recommended to take Smecta and Mimi Ai orally, and use Dinggui Eri Tui together for treatment; if necessary, seek medical treatment at the pediatric department for intravenous fluids. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Offer more fluids. If it is intestinal inflammation, it is recommended to decide on ampicillin intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory treatment. To prevent dehydration and high fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction.
