Patient's question:
Boy baby. He had frequent diarrhea before, which lasted for half a month, but now it has started again. Whatever he eats, he has diarrhea, which clearly indicates poor digestion. Currently, he is taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum powder, Compound Syzygium aromaticum and Ocimum basilicum oral suspension, and Lysine Adonitol Vitamin B12 oral solution. Previously, his diarrhea couldn't be treated anywhere, but it finally got better after taking these three medications in Wei Hui. However, this time, taking the same three medications has not shown significant effects. Could you please advise what medication should be taken for poor digestion?Doctor's answer:
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 (e.g., cefixime) under the guidance of a doctor. If it is merely a viral infection, some antiviral medications (e.g., ribavirin granules) may be sufficient. If nausea and vomiting are severe, it is advisable to actively administer fluid therapy (oral rehydration solution or intravenous fluids) to prevent the child from becoming dehydrated again. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, montmorillonite powder can be tested. The use of montmorillonite powder must be scientific: it must be dissolved in 50-100 milliliters of water and then taken orally. Only in this way can the medication cover the intestinal mucosa and achieve a certain effect in stopping diarrhea.
