Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Why hasn't the diarrhea been getting better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, daily abdominal distension and loose stools, persistent diarrhea, and a high possibility of chronic enteritis. It is recommended to review a stool routine test. Simply taking triple live bacteria capsules often yields poor results; additional medications such as Huanglian (Coptis chinensis) and Montmorillonite should be taken to stop diarrhea. Additionally, dietary attention is necessary to protect the intestinal mucosa. It may be caused by infantile diarrhea. During the care of a diarrhea-stricken baby, feeding should follow the principle of small, frequent meals, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, and transitioning from liquid to solid. Treatment may require antibiotics, mucosal protectants, probiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine.
