Question
What should I do if my baby has been suffering from diarrhea for a week and it doesn’t seem to get better?
Answer
Based on your description, if the condition persists and the treatment is not effective, it is necessary to consider further examination and treatment at a higher-level hospital or to try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. For your baby’s condition, consider moxibustion therapy, dietary therapy, and taking Chinese medicine decoctions. Pay attention to abdominal warmth, maintain a mild and light diet, ensure adequate fluid intake, and provide careful care. Pediatric acupuncture and massage may also offer some relief.
