Question
My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. What medication should I give for baby diarrhea?
Answer
It is recommended to use Simeticon for treatment. It’s very effective. If the diarrhea persists, intravenous therapy can be considered. Avoid cold foods. It’s suggested to check the stool for analysis to determine if it’s due to indigestion or enteritis. Also, be aware of whether it’s due to intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. For indigestion, oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Simeticon are recommended, and in severe cases, please consult a doctor for intravenous therapy. Extend the intervals between breastfeeding to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Drink plenty of water. If you’re introducing new complementary foods, it should be temporarily halted or reduced. Gradually resume after the condition improves. Especially avoid indigestible foods.
