Patient's question:
.5 years old, the weather has been hot these days. Yesterday, I ate watermelon and grapes, a bit too much. This morning, when I woke up, I started having diarrhea. First, my stomach hurt, then I had egg-like stools. After the diarrhea, the pain stopped, but later I had a few more watery bowel movements and took Montmorillonite Powder. Then, I started crying and saying my buttocks hurt. Upon looking, my buttocks were very red. What should I do? Can I apply any medicine?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Based on the information you provided, it should be infantile diarrhea. Infantile diarrhea is often caused by improper feeding and dietary imbalances. It is important to provide not only nutrition but also anti-diarrheal effects.Advice: In addition to taking Montmorillonite, your baby can also use Children's Stomach Health Syrup, Siprobact, Ribavirin Aerosol, Children's Diarrhea Relief, and Miac. Applying Dinggui Ertie (Dinggui Infant Abdominal Patch) is also fine, as it is an external use product made of pure Chinese herbal medicine. It strengthens the stomach and spleen, and is very effective for treating infantile diarrhea. If your baby has diaper rash, you can bathe him with warm water and apply Johnson's Diaper Rash Cream. You can try this. I hope your baby recovers soon.
