Question
My baby has been having diarrhea and vomiting for two weeks. There are no allergies or hereditary medical history. I hope experts can provide some effective medication.
Answer
It is recommended to undergo routine blood and stool tests. If there is evidence of bacterial infection, it is suggested to use the mentioned antibiotics under a doctor’s guidance. If it is merely a simple viral infection, antiviral medications may suffice. In cases of severe nausea and vomiting, it is advised to actively administer fluid replacement therapy (to prevent the baby from becoming dehydrated again). Additionally, under a doctor’s guidance, you can try giving the baby a test dose of attapulgite powder (special note: the use of attapulgite powder must be scientific: it must be dissolved in 50-100 milliliters of water before oral administration. Only then can the medication cover the intestinal mucosa and have some anti-diarrheal effect).
