Patient's question:
Child is seven months old, has diarrhea, with egg-like stools. Has been taking Simethicone for three days. Would like to ask, should only take Simethicone? Is it necessary to take other medications? For example, Mammai. Also, can Zhuyajiao Liao Granules be taken?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It can be taken, but it is essential to have a doctor's prescription. Infants with diarrhea should avoid milk and watermelon, as they can worsen the condition. If the baby has been on complementary foods for a long time and has already been introduced to porridge, then they can eat rice porridge. Millet porridge is the best option. If the baby has been introduced to vegetables, you can make vegetable porridge or fruit porridge. This way, you won't need to worry about excessive nutritional deficiencies. You can give the baby cooked apples or carrot puree, both of which have a laxative effect. Carrot porridge is also a good choice. Additionally, babies under one year old should not consume soy milk.
