Patient's question:
How to deal with severe diarrhea in a 7-month-old infant, where the stool is like water. Can they get an injection? It has been 4 days, with coughing, diarrhea, and occasional 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 cough and vomiting, which suggests a respiratory infection as well. It is recommended to visit the hospital for tests such as a stool routine examination, blood routine examination, and virus detection to confirm the diagnosis. Enema needles have no relation to this illness. You can use some anti-diarrheal medications such as Montmorillonite, Berberine, and Duloxetine. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the test results. If the diarrhea is watery, dehydration should also be considered, and fluid replacement should be provided. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
