How to handle infantile diarrhea that hasn't improved after three days

Patient's question:

Since eating formula milk the day before yesterday, she has started having diarrhea. Whenever food is given, she vomits it out. Sometimes, when her stomach is touched, it feels like wind. Yesterday, when she went to the Shengtang Town Hospital with me to see a doctor, they only gave her a few packs of Western medicine to take. However, she hasn't stopped having diarrhea even after taking the medicine. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Stool routine + occult blood test. The sample requires checking within 1 hour after the child has a bowel movement. There are many causes of infantile diarrhea. If the child is confirmed to have infantile diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
