Patient's question:
The baby is six months old and has had diarrhea for about ten days recently, but his mental state is good, and he is eating as much as usual. We have been taking probiotics, but they haven't helped. Today, we bought an umbilical patch. Can we use it? Also, can we take montmorillonite? The pharmacist said montmorillonite is just montmorillonite. Is that correct? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Suggest checking the stool test to determine if it's indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold is causing intestinal dysfunction. If severe, see a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Drink more water. If adding complementary foods, pause or reduce the amount added. Gradually resume adding foods once symptoms improve. Especially avoid foods that are hard to digest. If the test shows inflammation, consider anti-inflammatory treatment. For fever, use fever-reducing measures. If severe, seek intravenous treatment. Also, extend the interval between feedings and allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Drink more water.
