Question
A one-year-old baby who has been weaned from breastfeeding for a month frequently experiences diarrhea, abnormally smelly stools, watery diarrhea multiple times, and vomiting. How should this be handled?
Answer
Infant diarrhea is often associated with viral or bacterial infections, changes in climate, temperature differences, increased intestinal motility after a cold. It is recommended to use a combination of trypsin powder and Bifidus oral treatment, taken at intervals of one hour. If there are symptoms of enteritis, additional children’s Lilibao medicine should be added. Pay attention to abdominal warmth; long-term diarrhea may affect the child’s growth and development. Treatments should be administered under the guidance of a doctor or with intravenous fluid therapy.
