Question
Our nine-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea for over ten days, and medication has not shown any significant improvement. How should we handle this situation?
Answer
If a baby’s diarrhea persists for more than ten days and medication treatment is ineffective, it indicates that the situation may be more complex. It is advisable to immediately take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine if there are gastrointestinal inflammation or bacterial infections. Under the guidance of a doctor, intravenous fluid therapy may be required, along with appropriate rehydration measures, to alleviate the baby’s discomfort and promote recovery.
