Question
The 1.5-year-old child has had diarrhea for 5 days and now has very little energy. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I’ve been seeing a doctor for three days and there’s still no improvement; the oral administration of montmorillonite hasn’t worked. What kind of help can I expect? What medication can I give?
Answer
The 1.5-year-old baby has been vomiting and has had diarrhea for 5 days, with the oral administration of montmorillonite proving ineffective. Now, the baby is feeling extremely weak. It is recommended that if the baby has had diarrhea for a long time, it is prone to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance as complications. If the baby has a reduced urine output and dry skin and mucous membranes, immediate fluid replacement and correction of electrolyte imbalance are necessary. At the same time, a regular stool test should be conducted. If inflammation is detected, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. If the oral administration of montmorillonite is ineffective, consider enema or taking BaoLeAn or MaMiAi to adjust the flora.
