Does the baby taking the lead-extracting medicine cause diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could taking lead chelation medication cause diarrhea in babies?

Doctor's answer:

It's best not to give babies these medications randomly, as some of them are not good for them. Lead removal is a long-term process that requires conditioning. If you are concerned about diarrhea, it is recommended to keep Dinggui'er Navel Patches and Smecta at home. Generally, they are taken once every six months or a year. After reaching adulthood, there will be fewer intestinal parasites, but it is still advisable to deworm occasionally, usually taking two pills at a time. This addresses the relevant content of the question, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
