Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it's affecting my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. What should I do if my baby has diarrhea and the anus is very red?Doctor's answer:
The baby has diarrhea and a very red anus, which indicates internal heat accumulation. You can improve this by washing the baby's anus with warm rice water (the top layer of cooked rice). Diarrhea might also be caused by catching a cold. Massaging the abdomen in a counterclockwise direction can alleviate the symptoms of diarrhea. If the baby has diarrhea multiple times a day, it's still recommended to take them to the hospital to avoid dehydration. Montmorillonite for children is a treatment for diarrhea, but it's not advisable to use it too early for young children. We hope the baby recovers soon.
