Question
My child has had diarrhea for three days. After taking probiotics and montmorillonite powder, there has been no improvement. I would like to know the appropriate medication for treatment.
Answer
Diarrhea in infants can be caused by various pathogens or factors, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms. If accompanied by frequent vomiting and difficulty in defecation, it may result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It is important to seek medical attention promptly and receive oral or intravenous fluid replacement under the guidance of a doctor. For mild cases, oral rehydration salts can be tried, while severe cases may require fluid replacement through intravenous injection.
