Patient's question:
Our baby is now nine months old. Recently, the symptoms of diarrhea have been particularly severe. It seems like the baby has been having diarrhea for several days. We have taken some medication, but the effect hasn't been particularly good. What should we do if a nine-month-old baby has diarrhea for more than ten days?Doctor's answer:
Since the baby's condition is already quite severe, and the diarrhea has persisted for several days, it indicates that the child's situation is definitely very complex. It is essential to take the child to the hospital for treatment. There may still be some gastrointestinal inflammation, and there could be bacterial infections. These symptoms can be controlled with medication, but it may be necessary to administer some intravenous drugs and also provide fluid replacement.
