Patient's question:
A ten-month-old baby girl vomited twice the night before last, had a slight fever of 38.5°C on the third day, and then recovered after physical cooling. She was given pediatric Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine tablets, which caused some diarrhea afterward. Today, the diarrhea has worsened, becoming like water, gradually turning into a paste-like consistency. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the cause of pediatric diarrhea, it can be treated through medication. Pay close attention to monitoring changes in the condition. It is recommended to use a combination of live bifidobacteria tablets, smectite powder, oral rehydration salts, and Xiaoxuan Kado granules. If the child has frequent bowel movements, it is necessary to give them Ganmao Ling and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications. Additionally, oral digestive aids should be used. During this period, it is best to consume easily digestible foods.
