Patient's question:
My child is four and a half months old and has had diarrhea for twenty days. Nothing has worked. What can I do?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Nothing has worked.
What kind of help is needed: What should I do? What medicine should I use?
Doctor's answer:
This indicates a problem with gastrointestinal absorption. The frequency of bowel movements is a bit high daily, which interferes with gastrointestinal absorption. If a baby has this condition long-term, it can lead to malnutrition or even electrolyte imbalances. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation from a gastroenterology department. Diarrhea in infants and young children is the most common gastrointestinal disease. The fundamental cause of diarrhea in babies is poor immunity and weak resistance to viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, it is easy for diarrhea to spread.
