Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is now 3 months old. He has been doing well until today afternoon. I don't know what he ate wrong, but he has already started having diarrhea. It has happened several times, and I don't dare to give him medicine randomly. What medicine should I give for infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of infant diarrhea, and common ones are generally related to improper feeding, unclean defecation, cold food, abdominal chills, viral or bacterial enteritis, etc. It is recommended to first conduct a thorough check of the stool routine and rotavirus to confirm the type of nausea and vomiting before treatment. Oral bifidobacterium granules and montmorillonite powder can be used, combined with the use of children's umbilical patch on the navel. If it is viral, ribavirin granules can be added. If it is bacterial, pediatric Libo granules can be used in combination. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing dehydration. If nausea and vomiting are severe, oral rehydration salts or intravenous fluids can be administered.
