Question
What should I do if my baby has diarrhea and the medicine isn’t helping?
Answer
The possible causes of pediatric diarrhea may include indigestion or enteritis, and a stool test is needed for diagnosis. It could also be due to intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If it’s indigestion, it’s recommended to take oral medication under a doctor’s guidance, and in severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be required. At the same time, extend the interval between breastfeeding, do not feed too frequently or in large quantities, allowing the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Increase water intake and stop introducing new complementary foods.
