Patient's question:

Treatment history and effect: Taken Smecta, applied Dinggui'er, not effective Help needed: Do I need to change the formula?]Doctor's answer:
Hello, infant diarrhea is classified into two categories based on its cause: infectious and non-infectious. It is a clinical syndrome primarily characterized by diarrhea, caused by multiple pathogens and multiple factors.If infant diarrhea is detected, it is recommended to check and test the stool to determine whether it is due to indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Additionally, it is important to consider whether a cold may have led to intestinal dysfunction.
If indigestion is suspected, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Stomach Tonic) and Smecta can be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the intervals between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods have been introduced, temporarily pause or reduce their addition. Gradually reintroduce them once symptoms improve. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
