Question
The child has had diarrhea for 4 days, starting with thick stools, then thin, and now it’s watery. I have used infant paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, infant cough granules, and montmorillonite powder, and also received injections. Can the child drink milk?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea is now watery, indicating there is a problem with the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, which requires nourishment. You can give the child infant complex pepsin to adjust the absorption function, which has been effective. It is recommended to continue taking montmorillonite powder and temporarily avoid milk. Give the baby plenty of water. It is suggested to go to a regular hospital for a check-up and have a stool test to see if there is an enteritis. If there is an enteritis, some anti-inflammatory medication will be needed.
