Question
Yesterday afternoon, the infant developed diarrhea symptoms, and intestinal regulating medication has been administered, but the symptoms have not eased. In this situation, what measures should be taken?
Answer
Infant diarrhea may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction or indigestion. Firstly, ensure that the baby is adequately hydrated, and consider giving medications that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as stomachic and digestant tablets. If medication treatment is ineffective, seek medical attention promptly for intravenous therapy to replenish the body’s required fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, be vigilant about the possibility of autumnal diarrhea or rotavirus infection, which may require professional medical intervention.
