Question

A 5.5-year-old child was hospitalized for five days due to acute diarrhea. The CKMB value in the myocardial enzyme spectrum test at admission was 83. After discharge, the child took the Sheng Mai Drink for one week, and upon re-examination, the CKMB value decreased to 40. Should the child continue to take the Sheng Mai Drink?

Answer

There is no need to continue taking the Sheng Mai Drink. The change in CKMB values may be due to dyspepsia or acute enteritis. It is recommended to undergo medication treatment and closely monitor the condition. If symptoms do not improve, medical consultation should be sought for a stool test to identify sensitive bacterial species, and consider intravenous treatment to replenish fluids and prevent electrolyte imbalance. Medication should be taken under a doctor’s guidance.
