Question

My child has had diarrhea resembling egg flower soup for a week now. We previously had a doctor prescribe Huanglian alkaloid, and I want to know what medication can help him recover faster.

Answer

Based on the description, the child may be suffering from indigestion or infectious vomiting and diarrhea. Since a regular stool examination has not been conducted, an exact diagnosis cannot be made at this time. It is recommended to have the child drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible foods, and consider using digestive aids andJianpi San (tonifying the spleen) medications while taking Huanglian alkaloid for diarrhea relief.
