What should I do if my baby is five months old and has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The baby is five months old and has diarrhea. The test results show ++ white blood cells and a small amount of pus cells. The doctor recommended injections, but since the baby is too young, they didn't administer them. Now the child is taking oral Montmorillonite, Gentamicin, and Baby Jiajian Powder. Seeking help, do these medications work? What should be done? The baby is still having diarrhea after taking the oral medication for a day.

Doctor's answer:

From the examination results, it is classified as enteritis, primarily caused by bacterial infection, which can lead to an increase in white blood cells in the stool and requires anti-inflammatory treatment.
Recommendation: If the baby has taken the medication you mentioned, there is no need for an injection. Otherwise, you will need to go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Give the baby plenty of fluids and pay attention to all aspects of the baby's condition. Keep warm and avoid getting cold. Wishing you good health.
