Is it easy to treat diarrhea caused by pneumonia treatment?

Patient's question:

Is it easy to treat nausea and vomiting caused by pediatric pneumonia? A three-month-old baby girl has been receiving intravenous treatment in a children's hospital for seven days. The pneumonia has already improved, but now she has diarrhea that is particularly watery and white with a slight yellow tint. Should she continue with the intravenous treatment, or will the nausea and vomiting disappear after stopping the medication?

Doctor's answer:

The current case of diarrhea in the child may also be a manifestation of physiological diarrhea triggered by gastrointestinal dysfunction during a cold. Additionally, the medication regimen being used for the baby is not fully understood. If antibiotics are being administered, this could potentially lead to such adverse reactions. It is recommended that such a young child undergo thorough examinations at a pediatric department of a regular hospital, including blood and stool tests, for diagnosis by a doctor. Follow the doctor's advice for treatment. During this period, if breastfeeding, the mother should maintain a light diet and avoid catching a cold.
