Patient's question:
Diarrhea for three days, loose stools for one day, 5-8 times without fever. Developed on 9.21 due to cold, vomited after drinking milk that night. Now not vomiting but still having loose stools. Already received intravenous fluids for three days, dehydration treated and rehydrated. Medications include Beiqi and Jianpi Granules. Doctor mentioned possible intestinal inflammation and said symptoms usually improve significantly within a few days. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: If you notice infant diarrhea, it is recommended to check and test the stool to determine whether it is due to indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Potato Enzyme Oral Liquid) and Montmorillonite Powder can be used. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods have been introduced, pause or reduce the addition of these foods. Gradually reintroduce them once the condition improves. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest. It is advised to seek medical treatment promptly.
