Patient's question:
1-year-old and 7-month-old baby ate a lot of corn a few days ago. On the third day, he vomited and had diarrhea. Just after taking Chenjining powder, he had another bowel movement. They also started taking medicine, but after taking it, he had another bowel movement shortly after. The medicine is Wushichen Granules and Xiao Chaihu Granules. The diarrhea is watery with curds.Doctor's answer:
According to your baby's condition, the current clinical symptoms, and the presence of acute gastroenteritis, it is recommended to have your baby examined by the pediatric department of a hospital. Based on the examination results, a definitive diagnosis can be made, and if necessary, intravenous fluid therapy can be administered. It is advised not to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment. You can take probiotics and, if the diarrhea is severe, you can also take Montmorillonite powder to see if it helps. If TCM treatment is not appropriate for the condition, it can be harmful to the child.
