Doctor's answer:
Hello, when your baby has diarrhea, avoid giving them juice or anti-diarrheal medication. Do not give your baby sweetened beverages such as soda (including cola), sports drinks, jelly water, sugar water, or undiluted juice. Since these drinks contain sugar, sugar will draw water from the body into the intestines, worsening the condition of the baby's diarrhea. Additionally, do not administer anti-diarrheal medication to your baby without a doctor's prescription. Adjust your diet to prevent and correct dehydration, use medication reasonably, and strengthen care to prevent complications. It is recommended to take Ersheiting Granules, which clears heat, dries dampness, and solidifies the intestines to stop diarrhea. It is used for children's diarrhea with internal heat and dampness, characterized by thin, watery stools, or accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The treatment focus varies at different stages of diarrhea. Acute diarrhea primarily focuses on maintaining water and electrolyte balance and anti-infection. Prolonged and chronic diarrhea should pay attention to issues of intestinal flora imbalance and dietary therapy.
