How to treat infant and young child diarrhea?

Patient's question:

We have already started introducing complementary foods, but the bowel movements are still not good, with frequent bowel movements every day, and it has been like this for over 8 months now. Now, we are experiencing some nausea and vomiting, and the weight has started to increase! At 8 months old, the baby weighs only 17 pounds and is already experiencing nausea and vomiting. We have been taking Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus Granules and Smecta in the past for treatment and results. Now, we are also taking Chicken Gold and Hi-probiotics? How can we stabilize the child's digestive function? Don't let him keep having bowel movements.

Doctor's answer:

Consider the possibility of a relationship between dyspeptic nausea, vomiting, or enteritis. Further laboratory tests on stool are needed for diagnosis, specifically to check for white blood cells. If enteritis is confirmed, antibiotics like cefixime or berberine tablets can be taken for treatment. In cases where stool tests are normal, it is recommended to take probiotics and Smecta. The above is advice for this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
