Patient's question:
A half-month illness description: A 4-month-old girl has diarrhea about 7-8 times on average. Medications have not been effective.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took some medicine but it had no effect.
What kind of help is desired: What medicine should be taken and is it necessary to receive intravenous fluids? Is it unnecessary to undergo any tests?
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 stomach enzyme preparations and domperidone to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins, such as Huanglian (Coptis chinensis), Litoral (Metronidazole), 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 attention. You can give the child Danibei Probiotic Powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function.
