Question
My baby has had diarrhea for over a week, and the medication doesn’t seem to control it, but they are still in good spirits.
Answer
If it’s due to indigestion, I suggest taking oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Simida, among others. In severe cases, it’s advisable to consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. At the same time, you can extend the intervals between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and to increase water intake. If you are introducing new complementary foods, you should pause or reduce the introduction and gradually resume after symptoms improve. Pay particular attention to avoiding indigestible foods.
