Patient's question:
The baby has been experiencing symptoms of diarrhea recently. We have some diarrhea medication at home, but it hasn't been very effective. We took the baby to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor prescribed some medication and advised us to feed the baby some light food. How should we handle infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can take Cefixime Suspension or Huanglian Tablets for treatment. If your stool test is normal, it is recommended to take Mamikai and Smecta. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy is required to avoid dehydration and electrolyte disorders. It is important to replenish fluids and electrolytes promptly. Oral rehydration salts or plain water with added salt, sugar (sugar can promote the absorption of water and salt) can be used for supplementation.
