Can I take the medicine prescribed by the hospital for gastroenteritis together?

Patient's question:

Can a six-month-old baby with gastroenteritis take the medicine prescribed by the hospital and the self-purchased Sìmó Tāng oral liquid at the same time?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, Si Mo Tang oral liquid is primarily used for constipation relief. If the child's bowel movements are normal, there is no need to take Si Mo Tang oral liquid. In daily life, you can give the child many probiotics or bifidobacteria to adjust the intestinal flora and treat the condition. For severe gastroenteritis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above suggestions are for reference only.
