Patient's question:
The baby. It has been having diarrhea for a while, and the baby's condition seems to be fine. I want to ask what could be the cause, sometimes the diarrhea is just water. The help I need: How to treat this persistent diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
When suffering from loose stools, avoid consuming too much breast milk. If the breast milk supply is insufficient, you can add diluted milk (1 part water to 1 part milk). Do not be hasty and increase the milk intake too quickly. To reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, you may take some light salt water orally, vitamin C, and continue taking digestive aids like gastric enzyme preparations and domperidone to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins. For example, you can use some Huanglian tablets, litramisole, or polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If the general treatment does not improve the condition and the child has watery stools more than 10 times, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for medical treatment. You can give your child some Danibei probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function.
