Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, what could be the reason for my seven-month-old baby having diarrhea in the morning?Doctor's answer:
First, it is recommended to check a complete blood count and a routine stool test. If there is evidence of bacterial infection, it is suggested to use the aforementioned antibiotics (such as cefixime) under the guidance of a doctor. If it is merely a viral infection, some antiviral medications (such as ribavirin granules) may be sufficient. If the diarrhea is severe, it is recommended to actively treat with fluid replacement (oral rehydration solution or intravenous fluids) to prevent the child from becoming dehydrated. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, Smecta can be tried (Special note: the use of Smecta must be scientific: it must always be diluted with 50–100 milliliters of water before oral administration. Only in this way can the medication cover the intestinal mucosa and achieve its antidiarrheal effect).
