Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I care for a baby with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Considering the child may have indigestion, medication is generally recommended. You can try oral pediatric Jianpi Granules and Mamiai. Be careful not to let the child eat raw, cold, or irritating foods. Instead, focus on easily digestible foods. Additionally, applying heat to the abdomen can also be helpful.If the child's stool contains blood, it is often due to infectious diarrhea, where bacteria or toxins damage the intestinal mucosa, causing bleeding. In this case, it is important to first take the child to the hospital for a stool test to check for infection.
