What could be the cause? It's urgent. Thank you. The child is formula-fed.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taken digestive medicine.
What kind of help is needed: What could be the cause and what medicine should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
Detected infant diarrhea, it is recommended to conduct a thorough examination and test the stool to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Strengthening Spleen Oral Liquid) and Montmorillonite Powder can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval between feedings. Allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being provided, they should be temporarily suspended. Alternatively, the amount of supplementary foods can be increased. Once recovery is stable, gradually restore the diet to normal. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
