Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for a month and has tried several medications without much improvement.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Taken probiotics, montmorillonite, fosfomycin calcium.
What kind of help is needed: How can it be cured?
Doctor's answer:
The suggestion is mainly to combat infection. Antibiotics should be used based on the condition of intestinal infection, primarily to suppress E. coli. Currently available medications include sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim or Coptis chinensis, as well as gentamicin, furazolidone, and pipemidic acid. Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance is also important. The frequency of diaper changes should be increased, and the interval between changes should be shortened. Solid foods should be temporarily suspended or increased. For formula-fed infants, easily digestible foods such as dissolved milk or rice soup can be given temporarily, followed by gradually increasing the amount of milk.
