Question
My seven-month-old child has diarrhea with blood streaks. I’m not sure what the cause is. The child has been very fussy and crying non-stop lately, and the hospital check-up didn’t yield any results.
Answer
Hello, based on the description, the child may be suffering from indigestion. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers pay attention to their diet and avoid eating cold and greasy foods. At the same time, it is suggested to give the child “Er Shei Ting Granules,” a medication used to treat damp-heat internal syndrome in children with diarrhea, which can clear heat, dry dampness, and strengthen the intestines to stop diarrhea. If the child shows signs of dehydration, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately. Additionally, you can give the child millet congee or noodle soup and use medications such as “Chang Le Kang” and “Si Mi Da” for observation.
