The baby has diarrhea and the medicine isn't working. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please advise on what to do if the baby's diarrhea doesn't improve after taking medication?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the causes of infant diarrhea are primarily indigestion and intestinal inflammation. A stool test should be conducted. The third possibility is that the intestinal function is disrupted due to a cold. If it is indigestion, oral medication under the guidance of a doctor is recommended. In severe cases, intravenous fluids may be necessary. Appropriately extend the interval between feedings. Avoid overfeeding to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. Stop adding complementary foods.
