Patient's question:
Child has had diarrhea for two weeks. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Tested for yellow stools at the hospital, but the children's diarrhea medicine prescribed by the doctor did not help. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, how to treat diarrhea in a four-month-old child...Doctor's answer:
Consider a stool test to confirm whether it is infant indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or fever-induced intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medication such as Smecta and Miamai should be recommended, along with the use of Dinggui'er Qipie to apply on the navel for treatment. If necessary, seek hospital pediatric treatment with intravenous fluids. Shorten the diaper changing interval. Offer more fluids. If it is intestinal inflammation, it is recommended to decide on ampicillin intravenous fluids for anti-inflammatory treatment. To prevent dehydration and high fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction.
