Patient's question:
Daughter just finished receiving intravenous fluids for eight days due to bronchitis, and today is the last day. However, since yesterday, she has been experiencing diarrhea, with three to four episodes within an hour. The stool is watery. What could be the cause, and what medication would help? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition may be related to bronchitis. It could be caused by dysbiosis due to intravenous infusion or viral infection. It is recommended to have a stool routine examination to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. For now, it is better to alleviate the symptoms first. You can take probiotics to ease the situation. If there is excessive nausea and vomiting, oral rehydration salts can be used for fluid replacement. Drinking more water daily can also effectively alleviate this condition.
