Patient's question:
Baby is one week old, having intermittent diarrhea, gets better with medication, but worsens when medication is stopped. Overeating also causes constipation. Currently taking Montmorillonite and probiotics. What should I do? Can congee be added with carrots and millet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition of the child is considered to be indigestion or a cold in the abdomen that has caused diarrhea, resulting in loose stools and frequent bowel movements.Suggestions: In this case, abdominal warmth should be maintained, plenty of water should be drunk to avoid dehydration, and active treatment should be carried out using medications that strengthen the spleen and stomach. Medications such as Montmorillonite powder and probiotics can be used for treatment, and an umbilical patch can be applied externally to the navel.
