How to treat acute diarrhea

Patient's question:

My child is 5.5 years old. Last week, he was hospitalized for 5 days due to acute diarrhea. Upon admission, the CK-MB level in his myocardial enzyme test was 83. After discharge, he took Shengmai Yin for a week. Today, the re-examination showed a level of 40. Please advise if it is still necessary to continue taking Shengmai Yin.

Doctor's answer:

Do not need to continue taking it. This might be due to factors related to the condition, such as digestive issues or acute intestinal inflammation, which could easily lead to this situation. You could consider some medication treatments, and these medications are suitable. However, if there is no improvement, it is important to see a doctor, get a stool test to identify sensitive bacteria, and consider intravenous fluids to replenish fluids and prevent electrolyte imbalances. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
