Can newborns drink Siqu Tang?

Patient's question:

Born, according to the customary practice of the local area, the family gave the child Si Mo soup, but after that, the child's condition remained poor, experiencing diarrhea every day, with more than 10 bowel movements daily. Later, when they went to the hospital, the doctor advised stopping the Si Mo soup, explaining that it was not good for the child's health...

Doctor's answer:

Under the guidance of a doctor, drink some Sìmó Tāng, but it is not recommended for long-term use. Sìmó Tāng is effective for infantile vomiting. Hello, the following foods can help stop diarrhea:
1. Toasted Rice Soup: Grind rice powder or milk powder into a fine powder, toast it until golden brown, then add water and enough sugar, and cook it into a thin paste.
Advice:
2. Carrot Soup: Carrots are alkaline foods, and the pectin they contain can help form stools, adhere to harmful bacteria and toxins in the intestines, and act as a good antidiarrheal and antibacterial food. The method for making carrot soup is as follows: Wash the carrots, cut off the stems, and chop them into small pieces. Boil them with water until soft, then strain out the pulp with a cloth. Add more water (in a ratio of 500 grams of carrots to 1000 milliliters of water) and cook with sugar until it boils. Serve 2–3 times a day, with 100–150 milliliters each time. Stop using it once nausea and vomiting improve.
Nursing Care:
3. Apple Puree: Apples are also alkaline foods, and the pectin and tannins they contain have the effects of adhesion, soothing, and stopping diarrhea. Take a fresh, soft apple, cut it in half, and scoop it into a puree with a spoon.
4. Dinggui Er Nüitie (Tiger Balm Navel Patch) also works well. Alternatively, you can take Mimiaoi and Smecta together for good results.
