A 5-month-old baby has had diarrhea for 8 days, no fever, no vomiting, and is in good spirits.

Patient's question:

The baby is almost five months old and was hospitalized with high fever before September 25th. The diagnosis was a viral upper respiratory infection. After discharge on October 2nd, she developed diarrhea, about 8-10 times a day. The stool was watery or egg-like, without vomiting or fever, and her spirits were good. She was given Mimi Ai for four days and Smecta for two days, but there was no improvement. She is formula-fed, with the original amount reduced from 120ml per feeding to 60-70ml per feeding, usually every two hours. Her appetite is still good. After each episode of diarrhea, she is given 50-70ml of newborn glucose water.

Doctor's answer:

Suggest checking for rotavirus, which can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine.
