Patient's question:
How should I handle diarrhea in a ten-month-old baby? It's sudden diarrhea; the baby was fine yesterday, but today it started spraying out. The baby cries while having diarrhea, which might be due to stomach pain. Desired help: What should I do? How to care for the babyDoctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is likely that the diarrhea is caused by indigestion and internal heat. It is recommended to take pepsin mixture orally to aid digestion, take probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract, and take montmorillonite powder orally to stop diarrhea. Wishing you a speedy recovery!Illness doesn’t improve easily, and intravenous treatment may be necessary to prevent dehydration. If the child is still willing to drink, they can take oral rehydration solution mixed with warm water in small, frequent sips to replenish fluids.
