Question
What should I do if my baby has diarrhea? What medication should I give them? Do they need to take medicine? How can I provide assistance in their care?
Answer
Firstly, a stool test should be conducted to determine whether it is enteritis or indigestion. If it is indigestion, it is recommended to take Shanmai Jianpi Oral Liquid and Huoxiang Decoction or the Four Flavor Spleen and Stomach Comfort Granules orally. At the same time, reduce the interval for changing diapers, or dilute the formula milk to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest, increase water intake, and reduce the provision of complementary foods. After improvement, gradually resume the provision. Pay special attention to avoid eating indigestible foods. If it is inflammation, concurrent anti-inflammatory treatment is required.
