Question
A ten-month-old infant has recently been experiencing persistent diarrhea symptoms. The parents have tried giving probiotics and other medications, but the symptoms have not improved. Tests have shown that the baby’s stool contains fungi. The parents want to understand the possible causes and appropriate handling methods.
Answer
Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your description, the child’s symptoms may be caused by dyspepsia, which is not a severe issue. It is recommended that you give the child pepsin powder and montmorillonite powder for treatment. When using, please note that montmorillonite powder should be administered one hour after pepsin powder to avoid drug interaction and affect the treatment effectiveness. At the same time, ensure the child has adequate water intake and take appropriate measures to keep warm.
