Question

My baby has a bit of diarrhea and is uncomfortable. The doctor prescribed multienzyme tablets and bifidobacteria. I gave her a little extra today, taking two multienzyme tablets. She threw up twice and her urine is still a bit loose. I am breastfeeding, and I gave her more water at noon to dissolve the medication. She had no reaction in the afternoon. I’m very worried that taking too much medicine might cause great harm. What should I do next?

Answer

Give your baby more water; this will speed up metabolism and there’s nothing to worry about. You must be more careful in the future. Taking too much of this absorption-promoting medicine is fine. This is when children are most prone to absorption issues, and I hope you will pay more attention in the future. These are my suggestions for the question “My baby has a bit of diarrhea and is uncomfortable,” and I hope they will be helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
