Question

My son is one year old, and he has been suffering from diarrhea for four days. Despite taking medication, his symptoms have not improved. How should I handle this situation? He is currently taking Montmorillonite Powder, and his stools are in an egg flower-like consistency.

Answer

Based on the description, the child is suffering from pediatric diarrhea. The treatment method can include using Shen Ling Bai Zhu Powder, and dietary precautions should include avoiding spicy and greasy foods, as well as drinking more millet congee. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. After a doctor’s diagnosis, intravenous treatment should be considered to prevent dehydration, and attention should be paid to the care of the buttock skin. Medication treatment should be administered as prescribed by the doctor.
