Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Diarrhea every other day, all watery, what should I do?Past Treatment and Effect: Visited the hospital once, prescribed Peefikang, continued to have diarrhea after taking it for 2 days.
Help Needed: Afraid to give her formula milk, worried about potential loose bowel symptoms, what should I do?
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 in increasing the milk intake too quickly. To reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, you may take some light salt water, vitamin C, and continue taking stomach enzyme preparations and sucralfate to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins. For example, you can use some berberine, metronidazole, or polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child antibiotics. If the general treatment does not improve the condition and the child has more than 10 watery bowel movements, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. You can give the child some Danibei probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function.
