Question
An eleven-month-old baby, who already has poor gastrointestinal health, developed diarrhea due to catching a cold. The condition has persisted for 5 days without improvement. What treatment methods are recommended?
Answer
It is recommended to immediately go to a regular hospital for blood and stool routine checks to determine the cause and then take symptomatic medication. If the acute enteritis is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics and antidiarrheal medications such as cephalosporins and attapulgite powder can be used, with specific medication to be taken according to the doctor’s instructions.
