Patient's question:
I noticed that the baby has been having diarrhea recently, and the diarrhea is in a curd-like consistency, occurring five or six times a day. What medicine can control it, and what should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby has diarrhea with an egg-like appearance, which may be considered viral gastroenteritis. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a stool test or stool culture. Then, promptly replenish nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes. At the same time, oral medication can be used to relieve symptoms, protect the intestinal mucosa, reduce leakage, and help improve diarrhea. Sodium chloride is used to replenish lost electrolytes, so active fluid therapy is needed to avoid dehydration or electrolyte imbalance.
