How long does the recovery period last for infant diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Baby is one year old and has had diarrhea for four or five days due to poor digestion. During this period, Montmorillonite, Bifidumbacterium infantis, Children's Diarrhea Relief, and Children's Jujube Tablets were taken. After that, the stool has formed into granules for three days, with two to three bowel movements per day. What should be noted next? Should those medications be stopped?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: If the child is in good spirits, eating normally, and there is no water in the stool, then you can currently only take Bifidus for adjusting the intestinal flora, drink plenty of warm water, and it should not be a big problem. Pay attention to reducing dairy intake, as it is not conducive to recovery from diarrhea. Once the baby's stool improves, you can stop taking the medication. Pay attention to food hygiene, especially for complementary foods. Hand hygiene also needs to be paid attention to. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
