Question
An 11-month-old baby has diarrhea and a high white blood cell count in the stool. Which medication should be used?
Answer
Infant diarrhea can be caused by various factors, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, intestinal flora imbalance, abdominal cold, or improper diet. It is recommended for parents to take their child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause of the diarrhea. If the diarrhea is caused by indigestion, medications such as Mamyai, Simeta, or Montmorillonite powder can be used for treatment. In addition, attention should be paid to providing appropriate warmth and dietary adjustment for the infant.
