Question
My one-month-old baby suddenly vomited during a nap and then started having diarrhea in the evening. The baby’s stool is yellow and watery. I have already given the baby an antidiarrheal medicine and a prescription from the hospital, but the baby still has diarrhea for five days.
Answer
It is recommended to conduct a detailed stool test to determine whether it is dyspepsia or enteritis. At the same time, attention should be given to whether the intestinal function is disordered due to a cold. If it is dyspepsia, oral administration of Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Montmorillonite Powder can be considered. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention for intravenous treatment. Additionally, reduce the frequency of feeding to allow the baby’s gastrointestinal tract to rest and ensure adequate hydration. These are the suggestions for the question ‘Baby’s one-month-old baby suddenly vomited and had diarrhea on the 19th afternoon of the month.’ I hope this helps, and wish your baby health!
