Can babies with diarrhea get injections?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Can babies with diarrhea get injections?

Doctor's answer:

As things stand, there's no need to administer medication; it's likely a viral cold. Injections aren't very effective, and doctors often prefer to use antibiotics through intravenous fluids, which isn't good for children. For diarrhea, you can use Dinggui'er abdominal patches and take Mamiai. For coughing, a syrup should suffice. It will take some time—3 to 5 days. If the child develops a fever or severe diarrhea during this period, you should see a doctor.
Hello, based on your description, the baby likely has pharyngitis. Generally, increasing fluid intake, taking azithromycin orally, and trying Lianye Granules can help. Ensure the room is well-ventilated, and add more fruits and vegetables to the diet. Additionally, you can take Lanqin Oral Liquid to regulate the condition. It will gradually improve. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
