What factors are causing diarrhea when taking medicine and intravenous fluids are ineffective?

Patient's question:

The baby is two years old and has severe diarrhea. The medicine hasn't helped, and intravenous fluids for four days haven't had any effect. The baby isn't eating and has no energy. How can this be?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, for your condition, it is generally recommended to take berberine combined with norfloxacin orally for treatment. If this does not work well, you can take gentamicin tablets orally, which is very effective for treating diarrhea! There are many causes of infantile diarrhea. If the child is confirmed to have infantile diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
