What kind of medicine should a baby with diarrhea eat?

Patient's question:

For the past few days, my mother-in-law has been taking care of the baby. Recently, she brought the baby back home. I don't know if it's because of the change in environment or something else, but ever since the baby returned home, he has started having diarrhea. It's been two days now, and I'm very worried he won't be able to handle it. What kind of medicine should the baby take for diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Should you carefully check it, it's probably routine. If there are no abnormalities, you can use probiotics and Kentling. Small infants are more prone to nausea and vomiting in the summer, some of which are contagious, while others are related to the season and diet. Frequent nausea and vomiting are more likely to lead to dehydration, so oral rehydration salts should be added to prevent dehydration. Pay attention to the diet. The child's gastrointestinal tract is in a sensitive and disturbed state, so it's best to minimize gastrointestinal pressure, with milk and rice powder being more suitable. The amount should be slightly less than usual (increase by 1/3~1/4), and fruits and other foods should be stopped for 3 days to see.
