Question
The 2-year-old baby has had diarrhea for two weeks. The elderly have been giving the baby Huanglian tablet and Mami Love, and gave Qingda two days ago, but the stools are still not forming properly. What should be done? Onset time: October 5th Detailed examination results: Take the baby’s stool to the hospital for testing to determine the cause.
Answer
There are various causes of vomiting, and it cannot be determined solely based on feelings whether the baby has autumn diarrhea. It is advisable to seek medical assistance to distinguish; if the baby has fewer than 8 episodes of diarrhea per day, or if the frequency is not high but the amount of stool is two to three times more than usual, or if it is all watery stools, it should be brought to a doctor immediately. Autumn diarrhea is caused by rotavirus infection, and antibiotic treatment is ineffective. Antibiotics should not be used arbitrarily, and the key to treatment lies in fluid replacement.
