Question
My baby has been having diarrhea with frequent loose stools for more than a day, and I don’t know what’s going on. The child has been very unruly lately, crying and fussing constantly. We’ve gone to the hospital and had checks done, but nothing seems to help. What should I do when my baby has diarrhea with frequent loose stools?
Answer
It is recommended to take Shanmai Jianpi Oral Liquid, Simida, and other medications. If the condition is severe, intravenous treatment should be considered, along with increased fluid intake. If you are introducing new complementary foods, it is advisable to pause or reduce the intake of these foods. Resume gradually after improvement, especially avoid eating foods that are difficult to digest. There are many causes of infantile diarrhea, and if the child is diagnosed with infantile diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
