Question
The baby has had diarrhea for 4 days, with yellow watery stools 8-9 times a day. There has been no improvement with previous treatments. How long after taking Chinese medicine can the baby eat Mommy Love and Montmorillonite powder?
Answer
If the baby is experiencing pediatric diarrhea, it’s recommended to carefully check the stool for signs of indigestion or enteritis. Also, be aware of any fever that might be causing intestinal dysfunction. For indigestion, oral administration of Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Simeticon is suggested. In severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval for changing diapers to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Increase fluid intake. If providing complementary foods, temporarily stop or increase the amount provided. Resume gradually once symptoms improve. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
