Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is now 3 months old. He has been doing well until this afternoon when he ate something he shouldn't have and started having diarrhea. He has had it several times, and I don't dare to give him medicine randomly. What medicine should I give for infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has symptoms of nausea and vomiting, they can take Absorption Powder and Montmorillonite Powder for treatment. Keep the abdomen warm and it's also recommended to check blood tests and stool tests to confirm whether the cause is bacterial or viral infection before proceeding with treatment. Anti-inflammatory or antiviral medications can be taken for treatment, and it is generally possible to recover. Additionally, it's important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. For breastfeeding mothers, it's best to avoid extremely cold foods to help the baby recover more effectively.
