Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is about 20 days old now. Yesterday and today, I noticed my baby has diarrhea, vomiting, and excessive gas. Before this, the baby had taken 6 days of Yin Zhi Huang oral liquid and started having diarrhea. Even after stopping the medication, the diarrhea continued. Yesterday and today, the baby's diarrhea is watery. Also, the vomiting is not just spitting up; when the baby passes gas, it comes out with water or stool. What could be the reason for this? Please guide me, thank you. Provide suggestions and a treatment plan.Doctor's answer:
From your description, the child's condition may be due to indigestion, and the medication side effects have triggered nausea and vomiting. Since Yinzhihuang Granules can cause loose stools in children, it is now necessary to stop the medication immediately and use treatments that strengthen the spleen and stomach. This will help your child recover from the abnormal bowel movements as soon as possible. I recommend treatments such as Kou Jianpin Powder, probiotics, and Montmorillonite Powder. Additionally, after feeding, hold the child upright and gently pat their back to help them burp, which can prevent further spitting up.
