Question

A 13-month-old baby started experiencing fever, vomiting, and diarrhea since the evening of the 24th. The child has visited a doctor and taken medication including Mommy Love and Simida, but the symptoms have not improved.

Answer

Hello, if a young child is suffering from diarrhea, it could be due to indigestion, enteritis, or catching a cold. First, it’s important to determine the cause of the illness. If the child’s diarrhea is mild and they are in good spirits, you can give them Mommy Love or probiotic supplements like Bifidobacterium live bacteria preparations, or administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. If the diarrhea is severe and medication does not help, intravenous drip treatment may be necessary. Additionally, make sure to give your child plenty of warm water to drink and gently massage their abdomen.
