Patient's question:
My baby is 9 months old and has diarrhea due to poor digestion. He's been having only liquid bowel movements for 4 days now. We have Montmorillonite Powder, probiotics, and Xingpi Yang'er Granules at home. Could you please tell me which one I should give him? Thank you.Previous treatment and effectiveness: I gave him probiotics for a few days, but it didn't work.
What help I need: I want to know which of these three medications—Montmorillonite Powder, probiotics, or Xingpi Yang'er Granules—I should give him to make him better.
Doctor's answer:
If a child's stool smells sour, it is likely caused by poor digestion. Since probiotics haven't worked after a few days, there's no need to continue using them. Xingspi Yang'er Granules and Montmorillonite Powder can both be used, and it's best to use both. Montmorillonite Powder requires a larger dosage to be effective, so there's no need to worry about an overdose, as it is not absorbed in the intestines. Other options to aid digestion include Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactase, and Pepsin Oral Solution.
