Question
How to deal with baby diarrhea? Detailed illness and consultation purpose: My child is one and a half months old. The umbilical cord healed, and the stool was normal. At 100 days old, the stool started to become loose, occurring 2-5 times a day, accompanied by gas. There were occasional improvements during treatment, but the condition returned after stopping the medication. The hospital has repeatedly tested the stool, and all results were normal. Now we dare not add any complementary foods, and we are desperate. How should we treat it???
Answer
Treatment Suggestions for Baby Diarrhea: Additional question for the first time: These days, I have been giving her babyJianpi San (Baby Tonic) without seeing any significant effect (it has been used for 4 consecutive days). I don’t know what the difference is between babyJianpi San and pediatricJianpi San Pills. Also, I would like to ask, for pediatric diarrhea, it is recommended to check whether the stool test shows malabsorption or enteritis. Also, be aware of whether there is intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If it is malabsorption, it is recommended to take oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Simeta, etc., and consult a doctor for intravenous treatment if severe. Extend the interval between breastfeeding to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Drink more water. If you should stop adding complementary foods when introducing them. Or reduce the amount of complementary foods added. Resume gradually after improvement. Especially do not eat indigestible food.
