What should I do if my baby has diarrhea after receiving an intravenous drip?

Patient's question:

The baby came back after being on an IV drip for a week. They kept having diarrhea, with 6-7 episodes a day. Before each episode, their stomach would rumble, and then they would pass gas, followed by the stool, which wasn't very liquid—it was like scrambled eggs.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, this situation may be related to the intravenous drip a few days ago. The drip may have harmed the probiotics in the intestines, leading to some digestive discomfort. It is considered possible that this could be non-infectious nausea and vomiting, possibly related to the cold nature of the medication. It is recommended that you revisit the hospital for a follow-up check-up, including a stool test. If it is non-infectious, it is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine to regulate the intestines. For example: Zhuyajiao Li Stop Diarrhea Granules, Montmorillonite Powder, etc.
