Question
How to handle severe diarrhea in a 7-month-old baby? The stools are like a stream of water.
Answer
Hello, the severe diarrhea in this baby may be caused by an intestinal virus infection. It is also accompanied by coughing and occasional vomiting, which may indicate a respiratory infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for routine stool tests, blood tests, and virus detection to clarify the diagnosis. There is no direct relationship between the disease and closed injections. Laxatives such as Montmorillonite powder, Coix Seed extract, and Dulaobao can be used. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the results of the examination. Consider whether there is dehydration and provide fluid therapy as needed. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
