Question
A one-year-old child’s face and ears become red and hot in the afternoon. How should this be handled?

Answer
The child’s symptoms may be caused by atropine or 654-2 ingredients in the anti-diarrheal medicine. Generally, taking the medication in normal doses is harmless. It is recommended to provide ample water and a diet consisting mainly of light, easy-to-digest foods. Chinese medicine can be used for treatment if necessary. It is suggested to combine local clinical doctor’s diagnosis with the child’s own condition for symptomatic treatment and avoid blind medication.
