Patient's question:
My baby has had a cold for half a month. Today, I want to make some pumpkin porridge for my baby. Can they eat it?Doctor's answer:
This symptom is commonly seen in infantile viral diarrhea. Do not delay treatment—seek medical attention immediately for a routine stool test to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the current season, it is likely caused by an enterovirus infection. It is recommended to take Ersheping Granules, which clears heat, dries dampness, and solidifies the intestines to stop diarrhea. This is used for children with diarrhea due to internal heat and dampness, characterized by loose stools, or accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. It is advised to treat with antiviral and supportive therapy while controlling food intake and paying attention to fluid supplementation.
