Patient's question:
5-month-old infant with diarrhea. From the morning of the 13th to the evening, there were over 10 episodes of diarrhea. On the 14th, from the morning to 1:40 PM, there were about 4 episodes of diarrhea. Desired help: How to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the situation you described, the baby has a gastrointestinal-type cold! The main symptoms of a gastrointestinal-type cold are vomiting and diarrhea. Some babies may develop fever, cough, and other symptoms in the following days! Since the baby has vomiting and diarrhea, it is recommended to use intravenous medication. The baby's gastrointestinal function is currently poor and cannot tolerate drug irritation. Medications may not have the desired effect and could further irritate the gastrointestinal tract, worsening vomiting! It is advisable to fast for 1-2 days and provide intravenous nutrients and fluids to allow the baby's digestive system to rest! Once the baby stops vomiting, you can start feeding them again!
