Question
A parent inquired about their one-year-old son who has been experiencing diarrhea for four days. The symptoms include several times of watery stools daily, sometimes accompanied by undigested food. They have administered some medication to the child but are unsure about how to handle the situation and when to take the medication.
Answer
Experts suggest that the child may be suffering from dyspepsia and can be given a mixture of probiotics called Changlingning to repair the intestinal mucosa and restore the intestinal flora. Probiotics are harmless and safe for children, and their effects are enhanced when taken with Changlingning. It is recommended to first give the child probiotics, followed by Changlingning two hours later. If the child’s symptoms do not improve, further medical assistance is needed.
