Patient's question:
Today at work, I received a call from the kindergarten teacher asking what I fed the baby yesterday. In the morning today, the baby started having diarrhea and sometimes cried saying his stomach hurt. Scared, I quickly took a leave to pick up the baby from kindergarten. What medicine should I give for infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your baby's diarrhea can be regulated by taking intestinal probiotics to improve digestive function, thereby relieving symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, it may be necessary to take an intestinal binder, and antibiotics may be used if needed. It is also important to prevent complications in infants with diarrhea. The most common complication is dehydration. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to drinking plenty of fluids, monitoring urine output, as well as the baby's mental state and appetite. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
