Patient's question:
Over a monthDuration of this illness and its persistence: A few days
Detailed condition and purpose of consultation: My baby might have caught a cold in his lower abdomen on the first day. After the symptoms slightly improved, the adults didn’t notice and gave him a few grapes. Then, he had non-stop diarrhea for half a month. During this time, his mental state was okay, but his legs felt weak. He went to the hospital, where the doctor tested his stool and found no virus. He took Peefikang, Montmorillonite, then added Jianwei Xiaoshi Koufuye and Xi Xin, and was given intravenous saline for two days. He also applied an umbilical patch, but there was no improvement, and it even got worse. Could you experts please suggest any good solutions?
Doctor's answer:
Can you check the routine stool examination?Suggestions for treating infant diarrhea: take infant compound pancreatin powder and Beiqu orally, with a one-hour interval between the two medications. Apply Dinggui Er umbilical patch to the navel. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, moderately reduce food intake, and prioritize a light and easily digestible diet. Provide sufficient fluids to prevent dehydration.
Also, check if the intestinal dysfunction is caused by a cold. If it's indigestion, consider taking Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Simida orally. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the feeding interval to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods have been introduced, pause or reduce their addition. Gradually resume adding foods once improvement is observed. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, especially.
