Baby has had diarrhea for one and a half months and it hasn't improved despite medication. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Diarrhea for one and a half months, medication has not shown any improvement. What should I do? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you need: The baby is six months old, and diarrhea has persisted for one and a half months. Medication has not shown any improvement. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea in children is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, significant temperature differences, or exposure to cold, which can lead to increased intestinal motility. It is recommended to conduct further and more detailed tests on the stool routine.
Suggestions: Treatment for indigestion can involve oral administration of pediatric compound pancreatin powder or taking some probiotics to regulate the digestive system, both of which are effective. Apply an umbilical patch to the navel. Pay attention to preventing abdominal cold exposure, and ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
