Patient's question:
My daughter has been having diarrhea since she was born. She has tried many medications without any effect, even though she has diarrhea, she is not losing weight. When she was four months old, I had a fever of over 38 degrees Celsius while expressing milk, and I was given intravenous fluids for seven days. My daughter continued to breastfeed during my fever, and after drinking milk, she only had one bowel movement in a week. About half a month later, she had a high fever again. She was given intravenous fluids for a week at the county hospital, and then she started having diarrhea again, and she has also started to lose weight.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. First, it's important to diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and may also add a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. Once the diarrhea becomes severe and treatment with medication is ineffective, it is necessary to promptly start intravenous drip treatment.
