Question
Will taking pediatric diarrhea medication affect a baby’s bowel movements?
Answer
Pediatric diarrhea medication usually contains traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and will not affect a baby’s bowel movements. It is made with ingredients that strengthen the body’s foundation, primarily acting to reduce inflammation first, then warm the gastrointestinal tract. It clears heat and dries dampness, firming the intestines and stopping diarrhea. It is used for damp-heat syndrome or accompanied by abdominal pain. At the same time, the baby needs to drink plenty of water to eliminate body inflammation.
