Patient's question:
A child who is about 6 months old has had diarrhea for about 20 days. The stool is yellow (turns brown after medication), with bubbles, and the solid and liquid parts separate when defecating. Additionally, coughing has appeared, which started later and has lasted for about half a month. The child was seen by an experienced expert at Xiangyang City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.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 diagnose 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 Intestinal Growth, and can also add a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. Once the diarrhea becomes severe and treatment with medication is ineffective, it is necessary to promptly start intravenous drip treatment.
