How to deal with a 7-month-old child who has diarrhea and dry cough?

Patient's question:

Child, you're experiencing diarrhea and mild cough now? Not drinking water, not eating anything?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Diarrhea medication, cough syrup, had anti-inflammatory injections.
What kind of help do you need: What's going on here?

Doctor's answer:

Detected infant diarrhea, it is recommended to conduct a thorough examination and test the stool to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether fever is causing intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral fluids and probiotics are recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval between feedings. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Drink more water.
Suggestions: If supplementary foods are being provided, they should be temporarily stopped. Alternatively, the amount of supplementary foods can be increased. Once the condition improves, gradually restore the normal diet. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
