Patient's question:
Patient Age: Over one yearCondition Description: The patient has been experiencing yellow diarrhea for a while, with 3 to 4 episodes per day, which has now led to fever. The diarrhea has lasted for 6 days.
History of Treatment and Effect: Applied Dinggui Qipie (Tiger Balm Navel Patch), received Andrographis paniculata injections, and taken Gentamicin Sulfate Granules and Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Mixture.
Help Needed: What might be the main cause? Are there any better treatments that can help reduce the baby's 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 in increasing the milk intake too quickly. To reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, take some light salt water orally, vitamin C, and continue taking stomach 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, Litron, or polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory drugs. If the general treatment does not improve the condition and the child has more than 10 watery bowel movements, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. You can give the child Danibei probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function.
