Question

What medication can be used to treat a 5-month-old baby who has been suffering from diarrhea for 20 days?

Answer

For a five-month-old baby, it is recommended to try feeding a little of the very well-cooked rice porridge, not too thick. Since the baby has been experiencing diarrhea for so many days with frequent occurrences, it is important to ensure the baby stays hydrated to prevent dehydration. It is suggested to switch to another hospital for the baby to undergo tests to determine the cause of the illness and receive appropriate treatment. If the baby has never eaten congee before, you can try feeding it, but pay close attention to the baby’s digestion.
