Question
The 5.5-month-old baby has poor digestion. They had diarrhea a few days ago and were diagnosed with autumnal diarrhea after a hospital check-up. After five days of intravenous fluid treatment, they recovered, but they have started having diarrhea again recently. What methods can help improve digestion?
Answer
The child may have developed chronic enteritis after the acute enteritis treatment with intravenous fluids was not fully recovered. It is recommended to take lactase, probiotics, and bentonite powder for treatment, while also ensuring the baby’s abdominal warmth is maintained and avoiding difficult-to-digest foods.
