Question
How to handle diarrhea in babies?
Answer
Dysentery is a gastrointestinal infection that should be treated with anti-infection therapy promptly to avoid the exacerbation of the condition. Third-generation cephalosporins are effective; traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as Qianzi Hongpian or Huanglian Su can also be used. The treatment principle includes continuing to eat, making reasonable dietary adjustments, maintaining nutrition; quickly correcting water and electrolyte imbalances; controlling both internal and external intestinal infections; symptomatic treatment, enhancing care, and preventing complications; and avoiding the excessive use of antibiotics.
