Question
A 20-month-old baby started experiencing diarrhea symptoms on the evening of September 19, with watery stools occurring approximately 4 times a day. The parents have already given the baby Montmorillonite Powder, probiotics, and Loperamide Granules, and have been using oral rehydration salts for fluid replacement.
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby may have diarrhea caused by rotavirus, but it is also possible to rule out bacterial enteritis or indigestion. It is recommended to bring the baby to the hospital for a stool test to determine if there is a bacterial infection present. If the test results show a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment will be necessary. If there is no bacterial infection, the current medication can continue to be used for treatment adjustments.
