Patient's question:
The baby probably ate too much two days ago and is now experiencing diarrhea. Currently, eating anything causes diarrhea. It's the third day, and the baby has been taking probiotics. This morning, they started taking one dose of Montmorillonite, but the condition hasn't improved yet—eating anything still leads to diarrhea. What medicine should be used?Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea is a common disease in infants under 2 years old, a group of diseases caused by multiple pathogens and multiple factors, with nausea and vomiting as the foundation. If the baby's stool contains a high amount of water and has frequent nausea and vomiting, or experiences dry retching and poor defecation at the same time, dehydration and electrolyte acid-base imbalance are highly likely. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Mild cases can be treated with oral rehydration salts under the guidance of a doctor, while severe cases require intravenous fluid infusion.
