Patient's question:
Hello! My child is now three months old. Due to a cold and cough, after taking medicine for a week, he started having diarrhea. There was no effect, so we went to the hospital for a check-up. A routine stool test was done, and there were no abnormalities. The doctor prescribed a week's worth of medicine, which was taken for three days, but there was no improvement, so the medication was stopped.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you first take your child to the hospital to get a stool test to determine if there is an intestinal infection. If there is an infection, it is not enough to just take Montmorillonite clay and probiotics; you need to take anti-inflammatory medication. If the infection can be ruled out, dietary adjustment will suffice. Children are small and have lower resistance, so it is essential to pay close attention to their dietary hygiene. Baby bottles, towels, and face basins used by the child should be regularly disinfected. If breastfeeding, the mother's nipples should also be cleaned frequently. Additionally, there is a condition called "hunger-induced diarrhea" that also requires the attention of parents.
