Patient's question:
A seven-month-old infant has severe diarrhea with watery stools. What should be done? Can they receive closed needle injections? It has been four days and they are also coughing, having diarrhea, and occasionally vomiting.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Desired help: Consultation
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the severe diarrhea in the baby is likely caused by an intestinal virus infection. There are also symptoms of coughing and vomiting. It is probably also a respiratory infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for tests such as a stool routine, blood routine, and viral detection to confirm the diagnosis. Closed has nothing to do with this illness. You can use some anti-diarrheal medications such as Montmorillonite, Coptis chinensis, and Duloxetine. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the test results. Since there is a lot of watery diarrhea, dehydration should also be considered and fluids should be given. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
