Can the medicine for a baby's diarrhea be mixed with milk to drink?

Patient's question:

A six-month-old baby has diarrhea, which is caused by indigestion. The medicine prescribed by the doctor is a bit bitter, and the baby is unwilling to drink it. Can Xiao'er Changwei Granules be taken with milk?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, don't worry too much. The baby's spleen and stomach are weak, and their absorption function has not yet fully developed, so it's easy for them to have diarrhea. Medication cannot be taken with milk, as milk is difficult to digest. Taking them together can interfere with their effects. Moreover, it may completely mask the medication's efficacy.
Recommendation: It is suggested to give the baby a little probiotics, then add probiotics to their formula or warm water to regulate their digestion. These small medications are very tasty and sweet, so the baby will never refuse them. In addition to massaging the baby's navel in a counterclockwise direction to prevent intestinal movement and help stop diarrhea. Wishing the baby good health and vitality!
