Question
An 8-month-old baby has been suffering from continuous diarrhea for over 10 days. Initially, the symptoms were somewhat relieved after taking probiotics and montmorillonite powder, but the diarrhea worsened later. The doctor advised to discontinue ceftriaxone and continue with probiotics, montmorillonite powder, children’s health granules, and pediatric anti-diarrheal plasters, but the symptoms did not improve and the baby also developed a runny nose and other cold symptoms. How should one handle this situation?
Answer
Hello, regarding your child’s condition, it’s possible that they are suffering from both a cold and acute enteritis at the same time. This is usually caused by catching a cold or consuming indigestible foods. The current treatment plan may not be addressing the symptoms properly. It is recommended to use Compound New Sulfa, montmorillonite powder, children’s diarrhea granules, and antihistamines for treatment. At the same time, ensure that the child drinks plenty of water, consumes easily digestible complementary foods, and try to avoid wind and colds.
