Question
Today, I received a call from the kindergarten teacher who mentioned that the baby has started to have diarrhea and sometimes cries and says their belly hurts. What medicine did I give the baby yesterday? What medicine do I need to give them now?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea can be treated with intestinal probiotics to regulate gastrointestinal function and alleviate symptoms. If symptoms persist, gastrointestinal adhesives or antibiotics may be necessary. Diarrhea in infants requires prevention of complications, the most common of which is dehydration. Therefore, pay attention to fluid intake, urine output, mental state, and appetite. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
