Question
How should an infant with symptoms of diarrhea accompanied by a cold be treated?
Answer
When an infant presents with both diarrhea and cold symptoms, it may be considered to administer intestinal tonic to improve the diarrhea, and use pediatric sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim granules to alleviate cold symptoms. Additionally, maintaining a warm environment and avoiding exposure to cold can also help improve the symptoms. If the child’s respiratory system problem is diagnosed as pediatric respiratory system, immediate treatment is required, along with measures such as gastrointestinal decompression. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s diet and avoid giving them foods that are stimulating or cold.
