Question
A 78-day-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea continuously since December 18, with today’s stool appearing green. The baby had taken Anqingning Granules, Houshenqing Oral Liquid, and Sijin Antiviral Compound for an upper respiratory infection on November 24. After seeing a doctor on December 18, the baby continued to take medication, including Feilikehe Mixture, Anqingning Granules, and Sijin Antiviral Compound. So far, the baby has undergone four treatments, and on December 27, the doctor prescribed Clindamycin Palmitate Dry Suspension and continued with Anqingning Granules, as well as Western medicine. Why is the baby having green stool, and why is the diarrhea not stopping?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea may be due to indigestion, a common issue in children. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics and Montmorillonite Powder for a few days while continuing the current treatment, and to ensure warmth. This should help improve the symptoms of diarrhea.
