Question
The 3.5-month-old baby has had diarrhea for over ten days, and the symptoms have not improved even after taking the doctor-prescribed medication such as Dinggui Er Duanchi Paste, Mami Love, Xiao’er Shaixie Ting, and Cef Propylene Granules. The baby has diarrhea five to six times a day, with stools turning from loose to dark green and containing mucus and foam. The baby’s mental state is good. Should I continue to give the baby medication and how should I handle it?
Answer
Hello, the baby’s symptoms may be caused by weak spleen and stomach and indigestion. It is recommended to adjust the diet, choosing light and easily digestible foods. You can give the baby some oral medications such as Xiao’er Jianpi Powder and Lactobacillus Granules for symptomatic treatment. The doctor suggests continuing the medication and paying attention to the baby’s dietary adjustments.
