Question
A 1 year and 7 month old baby experienced vomiting and diarrhea after consuming too much corn. After taking Jinjin Jin San, the diarrhea recurred shortly, and has been ongoing despite the use of Zhishi Cha Tea Pellets and Xiaochu Ligong Pellets. The diarrhea is thin and contains milk curds. What should be done?
Answer
Based on the baby’s symptoms, a clinical diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis may be appropriate. It is recommended to seek a pediatric consultation at a hospital for a thorough examination, and based on the examination results, a definitive diagnosis can be made. If necessary, fluid therapy can be provided. It is suggested not to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Consider using probiotics, and if diarrhea is severe, Montmorillonite Clay Powder can be tried. If traditional Chinese medicine is not suitable for the child, it could potentially cause harm.
