Question

Lately, my child has been crying non-stop and showing no appetite. How should I treat diarrhea in a 6-month-old baby?

Answer

The symptoms you describe may be caused by enteritis, and you can try treating them with Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and Fupian acid capsules. Ensure your child is getting enough fluids to maintain electrolyte balance, and in severe cases, intravenous fluid replacement may be necessary. Additionally, diarrhea might be due to an imbalance in the baby’s intestinal flora, and taking probiotics can usually help improve the symptoms. Remember to replenish fluids during diarrhea to prevent dehydration. If the baby is breastfed, the mother’s diet should be particularly careful.
