Patient's question:
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea recently, and she also has frequent bloating and poor digestion.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
I took her to the hospital for IV fluids. The doctor prescribed Xiao'er Lixi Zhi Xie Granules, Xiao'er Fushi Granules, and Racemic Dorzolamide Granules.
Help needed:
She has been taking the medication for a week. The diarrhea has stopped somewhat, but she still has occasional bloating and poor digestion. Can she take Lactobacillus Acidophilus?
Doctor's answer:
Lactobacillus is a traditional live bacterial preparation. It is a white or light yellow dry powder; slightly odorless, tasteless, and almost insoluble in water. It is used for indigestion, abnormal intestinal fermentation, children's diarrhea, and green stools in children. For babies with indigestion, this medication can be taken orally before meals. Additionally, the main focus for children's indigestion is to improve their diet. The digestive system of children is not yet fully developed, so it is advisable to consume less greasy and difficult-to-digest foods. Additionally, yogurt and hawthorn slices, which aid digestion, can also be consumed.
