Patient's question:
The baby is 15 months old and has had a fever for one day without coughing or a runny nose. They have been taking Oseltamivir and Antiglutinous Granules. The fever has subsided. On the third day of taking the medicine, the baby started experiencing some diarrhea, having bowel movements three or four times. On the third day, they had eight or nine episodes of watery diarrhea. Now the baby is experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. The doctor said it's a medication reaction and irritation to the stomach and intestines. What kind of medicine should be taken now to stop the diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the baby's current condition is considered to be caused by pathogenic microorganisms or an adverse reaction of oral antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs to the gastrointestinal tract. Since the fever has subsided, you can take Montmorillonite powder orally or use a navel patch concurrently to stop diarrhea. Drink more rice soup or porridge with added vegetable juice, a little sugar, and salt to aid digestion, provide vitamins, and replenish electrolytes. It can gradually improve. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and prevent them from getting cold again and developing a fever.
