Patient's question:
My child seems to have eaten something they shouldn't have a few days ago. So now they've been having diarrhea all the time. Later, I gave them some medicine for diarrhea, but it hasn't been very effective. I'm worried that if this continues, their body won't be able to handle it. What should I do if my baby has severe diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It has been discovered that the child has diarrhea. It is recommended to check and test whether it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is suggested to take oral Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye. Montmorillonite powder, etc.; for severe cases, see a doctor. Treatment with intravenous fluids. Extend the interval between feedings. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Drink more water. Suggestions: If supplementary foods are being added, they should be temporarily stopped or reduced. Gradually resume adding supplementary foods once the condition improves. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
