Question

What medication should a newborn take for diarrhea?

Answer

It is recommended to check the baby’s stool for signs of malabsorption or enteritis. Also, be aware of whether there is gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If it’s due to malabsorption, suggest taking oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Simeta, and other symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment.
