Patient's question:
Baby has diarrhea, watery, has started taking Bifidus and Lesduka levocarnitine granules. Can these two medicines be taken together in milk? If taking levocarnitine granules, do I still need to take Montmorillonite? At the same time, the baby has rickets, and needs to take four protection calcium effervescent tablets. What time is best to take these medicines?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, I consider the possibility of viral gastroenteritis (autumnal gastroenteritis) as a factor or cause of the baby's diarrhea. It is best to go to the hospital for stool tests and related examinations to rule it out.Advice:
1. For the symptomatic treatment of the above symptoms, Bifidus and Rotacare Granules are relatively appropriate. I suggest you continue using them. If the diarrhea is severe, you can consider adding Smecta, a diarrhea treatment medication. Avoid taking these medications with formula milk. It is best to give them on an empty stomach before feeding for better efficacy.
2. Since the baby currently has diarrhea, calcium absorption is poor. I recommend waiting until the diarrhea improves before supplementing with calcium.
3. Pay attention to monitoring the baby's condition to prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
