7-month-old baby, diarrhea for a week, what to do

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, seven and a half months, previously in good health
Current Condition:
1. Bowels move four to five times a day, with green stools. Diarrhea has lasted for a week.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. The first step is to confirm the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take enterobacterium. Additionally, you can give them a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. If the diarrhea is severe and the medication is ineffective, it is necessary to start intravenous treatment promptly. Also, make sure the child drinks plenty of warm water and gently massage their abdomen.
