Patient's question:
A 52-day-old baby has had diarrhea for several days. We have also given the baby medication at home to control the condition, but it's still not working. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of the baby should be considered as indigestion, possibly caused by a cold. It is recommended not to use medication for the time being. You can observe the baby's overall condition, provide more warm water, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid catching a cold. Additionally, it is important to consider whether the baby may have acute gastroenteritis. If vomiting improves and medication is effective, it is advisable to continue the current treatment. Maintain a light and warm diet, and the prognosis is generally good.
