Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I treat diarrhea in a 6-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
What you described might be gastroenteritis. It can be treated with Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and norfloxacin capsules. It's important to drink plenty of water and maintain electrolyte balance. In severe cases, consider intravenous fluid replacement. Diarrhea is usually caused by an imbalance in the baby's gut microbiota. Probiotics generally help, and it's important to replenish fluids to prevent dehydration. If breastfeeding, the mother should be cautious about her diet.
