What should I do if my child's diarrhea doesn't get better and I suspect there might be mold?

Patient's question:

The child is 10 months old. Lately, they have been having frequent diarrhea. Probiotics and Bifidus were taken, but the condition hasn't improved. A stool test revealed the presence of mold. I would like to ask what could be the cause of this. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: The condition of your child is likely due to indigestion, which is not a serious issue. You can give your child some pepsin powder and smectite powder. To note is that the smectite powder should be used one hour after the pepsin powder, so there will be no drug conflict and the treatment effect will not be affected. Also, make sure to give your child plenty of water and take good care to prevent cold and keep warm.
