Question
I recently saw a new medication for treating children’s diarrhea, Dulailin. How effective is Dulailin in treating pediatric diarrhea? Can it be taken with other medications?
Answer
For pediatric diarrhea, it is recommended to first check if the stool shows symptoms of indigestion or enteritis, and also pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold-induced intestinal dysfunction. If it is due to indigestion, it is suggested to use Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Montmorillonite Powder, and other medications for treatment, while strictly following the doctor’s instructions for intravenous fluid therapy. Additionally, extend the feeding interval to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and increase water intake. If complementary foods have been added, then it should be temporarily stopped or the amount of supplementary food should be reduced. After improving the symptoms, normal diet can be gradually resumed. It is especially important to avoid eating indigestible foods.
