Patient's question:
Seven-month-old girl had never had diarrhea before. She was given Nimisulide, 999 Cold Relief, and Cefalexin Granules for a fever. The next day, she developed diarrhea with green stools.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that the hospital conduct tests to clarify that different types of diarrhea require different antibiotics. For enteritis and dysentery, some medications like Huanglian (Coptis chinensis), Litertlin, and polymyxin can be used. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If there is also digestive discomfort, Mamiai (a probiotic) can be taken orally.If, after general treatment, the child's bowel movements do not improve and watery diarrhea occurs more than 10 times, it is important to avoid dehydration and take the child to the hospital for treatment. On a daily basis, it is advisable to give the child Mamiai intestinal probiotic powder to improve gut function and enhance the child's own gastrointestinal health.
