Question
Dear doctor. My daughter has been suffering from diarrhea for a week. She has been administered ceftriaxone sodium injection for 5 days, but there is still no improvement. The stool test shows the presence of white blood cells +. What should I do?
Answer
- Give the baby plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Cook some rice congee for the baby, and only feed the rice oil.
- Do not feed the baby any food; they should only drink milk.
- After each bowel movement, soak some tea leaves in water and wash the baby’s bottom.
- Purchase Montmorillonite powder, probiotics, and Wensai Yang’er Granules from the pharmacy and use them as follows:
- Montmorillonite powder: Take half an hour before meals, one-third of the dose, three times a day.
- Probiotics: Take after meals, half a dose, twice a day in the morning and evening.
- Wensai Yang’er Granules: Take after meals, one-third of the dose, three times a day.
- Keep the baby’s stomach warm. Breathe out three times on your hands, then rub both hands together until they feel very hot. Place them on the baby’s stomach and repeat seven times.
- After the baby recovers, you can make some mung bean water for them to drink. These are some methods to deal with a 13-month-old baby’s diarrhea. I hope they are helpful to you. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.
