Question
The newborn has diarrhea with foamy stools and is in poor spirits. How should we adjust the treatment?
Answer
This symptom may be caused by enteritis, and it is recommended to use Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill and Furosemide Capsules for treatment, while also ensuring adequate water intake to maintain electrolyte balance. In severe cases, fluid replacement may be necessary. Additionally, diarrhea could be due to indigestion, viral infection, lactose intolerance, or bacterial infection. Try taking oral intestinal regulators and Simethicone for treatment, and drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If oral rehydration salts are ineffective, consider seeking hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy.
