How to deal with diarrhea in a six-month-old child

Patient's question:

A six-month-old child has diarrhea and has been given Montessori, probiotics, and antibiotics. Then, he was given a milk formula that caused nausea and vomiting. Now, his stool is hard and dry, and switching to a different formula hasn't helped. What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, infant diarrhea may be related to diet, exposure to cold, etc. The condition is relatively simple, and it is recommended to take medication as prescribed by a doctor.
According to your description, it is first recommended to immediately discontinue the use of anti-diarrheal formula, etc. It is advised that parents should not use medication casually and should follow the doctor's instructions. The child's condition is relatively simple, so acupuncture can be tried.
For the patient, if the infant's diarrhea is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of infant diarrhea. Additionally, the patient should pay attention to their own diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
