Patient's question:
My little one is already 5 months old, but recently they've been having some diarrhea. What should I do? Do I need to take them to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better?Doctor's answer:
Infantile diarrhea, also known as indigestion, can lead to malnutrition, delayed growth and development, and conditions like kwashiorkor if left untreated for a long time. It is recommended to have the child lie flat and use ginger juice as a medium to push the Spleen Meridian for 300 times, rub the Bamen Point for 200 times, and push the Large Intestine Point for 100 times. Use the thumb or the index and middle fingers to push the Sanquan Point until the skin turns red. Massage therapy is effective for this condition, but other treatments should not be excluded, especially for cases with infection factors, where antibiotics and other medications can be used concurrently. In cases of dehydration or poisoning symptoms, intravenous fluid therapy should be administered promptly.
