Question
A one-year-old child has been suffering from diarrhea due to dyspepsia for four to five days. During this period, the child has been taking Montmorillonite Powder, Golden Bifidus, Children’s Laxative An, and Children’s Wheat and Date Tablets. Currently, the stools have formed and contain granules, with two to three bowel movements per day for the past three days. What should be paid attention to next? Which medications can be stopped?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to answer your question: If the child is in good spirits, eating normally, and there is no water in the stools, you can simply continue using Golden Bifidus to adjust the intestinal flora, and drink plenty of warm water without any major concerns. Please note to reduce the intake of dairy products, as this is not conducive to the recovery from diarrhea. Once the child’s stool condition improves, medication can be discontinued. In addition, special attention should be paid to food hygiene, especially the handling of complementary foods, as well as maintaining good hand hygiene. I hope my response is helpful to you.
