Patient's question:
My child has a fever and diarrhea for several days now. We've been giving him injections and medicine, but it's not getting any better. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: If you notice infant diarrhea, it is recommended to check and test the stool to determine 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 for intravenous treatment, extend the interval between feedings to allow the stomach and intestines to rest, and drink more water. If you are adding complementary foods, it is advisable to pause the addition or reduce the amount of complementary foods. Gradually resume adding them once you feel better, especially avoiding foods that are difficult to digest. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
