Question
The baby is nine months old and has been suffering from indigestion-induced diarrhea with loose, watery stools for four days. The family has kaolin powder, probiotics, and Wensui Yang’er Granules. How should medication be chosen?
Answer
If the baby’s stool has a sour smell, it indicates indigestion. If probiotics have been used without effect, consider discontinuing them. Both kaolin powder and Wensui Yang’er Granules can be used, and it is recommended to use them simultaneously. The kaolin powder needs to be used in larger quantities to be effective, and there is no need to worry about overdosing as it does not decompose in the intestines. You can also use substances like Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactase, and Pepsin Oral Solution to aid absorption.
