Patient's question:
The mother of my son had a toothache last month and took some anti-inflammatory medication. After breastfeeding the child, my son started having diarrhea. I gave him medication, but it hasn't improved. What should I do?Current condition: The diarrhea is still watery, and he occasionally passes some. It has gotten worse today.
Medical history: He had laryngitis and was hospitalized for three days, but it has since resolved.
Doctor's answer:
Pediatric diarrhea, also known as indigestion, is a digestive disorder caused by dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. It often leads to malnutrition, delayed growth and development, and conditions like kwashiorkor. Massage therapy is effective for this condition, but other treatments should not be excluded, especially in cases with infectious factors, where antibiotics and other medications can be used concurrently. In cases of dehydration or poisoning symptoms, intravenous fluid therapy should be administered promptly. It is recommended to undergo examination before starting treatment.
