What are the treatment methods for a baby with diarrhea and what medications should they take?

Patient's question:

Patient is male, 11 months old, and previously in good health. Current condition: The baby has had diarrhea for four days. The first two days, he had 10 episodes of diarrhea each day, with very watery yellow stools. After receiving intravenous fluids for two days, now the diarrhea is thicker, occurring 3-4 times a day. He is not willing to eat and lacks energy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's diarrhea is likely to be caused by gastrointestinal functional disorder syndrome, mainly related to viral infection, bacterial infection, or abdominal cold. It is recommended to have a routine stool examination for your baby to confirm the diagnosis. Medications such as Mimi Ai or Jianpi San can be used for treatment and regulation. Additionally, persist in massaging your baby's abdomen multiple times a day, and ensure they drink plenty of water and stay warm.
