The baby is six months old and has had diarrhea and a runny nose for ten days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby is six months old and has had diarrhea and a runny nose for about ten days. They have taken diarrhea medicine, but as soon as they stop, the diarrhea returns. Sometimes it's green, sometimes yellow with foam. They have also taken medicine for the runny nose, but it hasn't improved. A few days ago, they occasionally coughed, but today the cough seems to have worsened. What should they do now? It's urgent. Please help everyone...

Doctor's answer:

I don't know if I have recently changed the baby's dietary habits. This may be due to indigestion caused by an unreasonable diet and upper respiratory tract infections with cough and runny nose after a cold. In this case, respiratory infections need to be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, and indigestion should not be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs to avoid intestinal flora imbalance and diarrhea.
Advice: In this situation, anti-inflammatory drugs and cough and phlegm-relieving drugs can be used for treatment. It can be used together with beneficial human bacteria to regulate the intestinal flora and help improve the baby's digestion and absorption. If the symptoms do not improve, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
