Question

A one-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea and jaundice. What are the effective treatment methods?

Answer

It is recommended to avoid high-fat diets and to use probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and other medications to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, observe for symptoms of fever to decide whether to use antiviral medications. If the baby is able to eat, additional medications to regulate the spleen and stomach can be added. IV fluids are not very helpful for children without dehydration symptoms.
