Patient's question:
I have diarrhea almost every other day, and my stomach makes gurgling sounds. The stool is quite liquid. Recently, due to a cold, I gave the baby paracetamol and antihistamine, and now the baby has diarrhea so badly that it's like water. Sometimes, giving the baby a few doses of smectite clay powder helps with the diarrhea, but then it starts again after a day or two. Is it not good to eat smectite clay powder often? If I don't take medicine, the baby's stomach hurts, and they always cry and fuss. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Children's diarrhea can be caused by factors such as dietary imbalances, medication interference, and infections. It is often accompanied by symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and reduced appetite. You can visit a pediatric department in the hospital for tests such as a complete blood count, stool examination, full blood super check, and abdominal X-ray to help diagnose the condition. If diagnosed, probiotics or drugs like Miac can be taken for treatment. The above advice is for the question "My baby is four months old and has diarrhea every few days while breastfeeding. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
