Patient's question:
My baby is 5 months and 12 days old. 10 days ago, they took two Mimi Ai and had slight diarrhea. After stopping the medication, they ate steamed egg yolk with bone oil and bone oil-cooked porridge, but have been having diarrhea ever since. During treatment, they have used Bific, Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets, and Montmorillonite Powder, but there has been no improvement.Doctor's answer:
The general treatment principle for pediatric diarrhea is rational medication use. That is to say, if the diarrhea is caused by a viral infection, the main treatment is symptomatic care, preventing dehydration, and preventing electrolyte imbalance. Antibiotics are not necessary; if the diarrhea is caused by indigestion, medications that promote intestinal digestion and absorption can be used. Overall, the first priority for pediatric diarrhea is rational medication use. The second is to continue with diet, avoiding raw, cold, and greasy foods, and opting for light, easily digestible foods; the third is to actively prevent and treat complications. Once symptoms of dehydration or acidosis are observed in the child, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
