Question
The baby has been experiencing diarrhea symptoms after undergoing surgery, and there has been no improvement. During this period, the baby had a fever for two days with the highest temperature reaching 39.8 degrees Celsius, accompanied by vomiting for three days, once or twice a day, and watery stools three to four times a day. Currently, there are wet and cold symptoms on the head, face, and limbs at night. Are there more effective treatment methods available?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea symptoms may be due to improper treatment leading to ineffectiveness. It is recommended to use anti-diarrheal medication alone, three times a day, with one packet each time. Oral formula milk has a significant effect and is expected to show improvement within 2 to 3 days with no side effects. At the same time, it is important to adjust the diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating food, greasy foods, and snacks, and keeping the body warm. Massage therapy and physical therapy can be combined as well.
