Question
How to handle severe diarrhea in a ten-month-old infant?
Answer
Infant diarrhea may be related to viral or bacterial infections, dramatic changes in climate, excessive temperature differences, or exposure to cold leading to increased intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to conduct regular stool checks. For diarrhea caused by indigestion, oral administration of pediatric complex pancreatin powder and Biqui is suggested, with a one-hour interval between the two medications. If it’s enteritis, additional symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication is needed, along with the use of a belly button patch. Pay attention to abdominal warmth and ensure adequate water intake to prevent dehydration.
