Patient's question:
Age and condition description: 1 year old, generally in good health, but sometimes diarrhea after eating rice.History of treatment and effectiveness: Seen at the town hospital, said to have a poor stomach.
Help needed: How can I get help?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the gastrointestinal function of the child is not fully developed, and diarrhea may occur after consuming complementary foods, which is normal! Since the child has been experiencing prolonged diarrhea, first check if the medication dosage is appropriate. For Smecta, the dosage can be adjusted based on the severity of diarrhea. Additionally, be alert to the possibility of temporary lactose intolerance caused by diarrhea. If the child's diarrhea persists for a long time and shows no improvement after using anti-diarrheal treatments, consider switching to a lactose-free formula or adding lactase to breast milk to help alleviate symptoms. Also, temporarily avoid adding complementary foods or introducing new ones.
