Patient's question:
My child is four years old this year. Yesterday, I took him out for a meal, and after coming back, he had nausea and vomiting, which was far more severe. I think it might be because he caught a cold. Both my husband and I are very worried. Then, we went to the hospital to get medicine for him. The doctor gave me Montmorillonite, and I have already given it to my child once. I would like to ask how many days in a row can Montmorillonite be used to treat infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The condition of a child's diarrhea is generally related to improper diet or exposure to cold. If it is only due to dietary issues and there is no bacterial infection, lactobacillus tablets can be taken for treatment. Severe nausea and vomiting can be treated with montmorillonite powder, which is effective for diarrhea but should not be taken in excess. Once the nausea and vomiting improve, the medication should be stopped promptly to avoid potential constipation. The principle behind this is that it adheres to toxins and helps eliminate them together, while also protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa, allowing for prolonged use. It is recommended to give the child less raw and cold food and drink more plain water.
