Patient's question:
Sister gave birth to a chubby little boy, white and plump, so cute. At first, he was growing well, but recently he's had some diarrhea. She went to the hospital many times, but the treatment hasn't been very effective. She asked me, a seasoned person, if I have any home remedies for baby diarrhea. Haha, how could I possibly know these things? It's better to consult a doctor.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None
Expected help: What medicine should I take?
Doctor's answer:
Treatment of infant diarrhea: Administer oral rehydration salts promptly to infants with diarrhea. Do not ask the doctor to prescribe many drugs to control diarrhea. Because the causes of diarrhea are complex, improper medication can be harmful rather than beneficial. Pay attention to the diet of the infant with diarrhea. It is not necessary to fast; instead, feed easily digestible foods. In severe cases of diarrhea, seek medical treatment promptly. Do not ask the doctor to prescribe many drugs to control diarrhea.
