Question
A seven-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea and urination since 1:00 AM today, continuing until 6:00 AM. The baby took probiotics in the morning, but the condition has not improved. The baby has frequent bowel movements, with stools that are acidic and smelly, containing milk residue and green froth. What medication should the parents give to the baby?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby may be suffering from indigestion leading to vomiting. If the stool is too loose and watery, it is recommended to take attapulgite powder. If the stool is paste-like, consider using stomachic and digestant medications. If there is mucus present, anti-inflammatory medication may be necessary. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to visit a specialized hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. For diet, it should be light and include plenty of warm water.
