Fed half a pack of Cengong Zaixin. Felt the forehead less warm.

How should the medication be used?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the child has had diarrhea for a relatively long time. When the initial routine stool examination showed white blood cells, but the current examination also shows normal white blood cells, it indicates that the child's diarrhea is caused by indigestion. However, the child developed cold symptoms on the 9th, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. Since the child now has multiple symptoms, the treatment should focus on treating the cold, aiding digestion, and regulating the gastrointestinal flora. Medications such as Bifidus Granules, Mimi Ai, and Children's Diarrhea can be given to the child to address the diarrhea. Bifidus Granules are in capsule form, so when taking them, remove the capsule and mix the contents with water to drink. Additionally, try to ensure the child drinks more warm water to prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea. Meanwhile, since the child has cold symptoms, medications such as Pu Dian Lan Oral Liquid and Children's Cold Relief Granules can be given to treat the cold.
