Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What medicine is effective for diarrhea in babies?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use Smecta for treatment. It works very well. If the diarrhea continues, intravenous fluid treatment can be considered. This is a good approach. It is advisable to eat less cooling foods. It is recommended to check and test the stool to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Millet Strengthening Spleen Oral Liquid) and Smecta can be used. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous fluid treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If adding complementary foods, pause or reduce the addition. Gradually resume adding complementary foods once symptoms improve. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
