Question
My baby is 6 months old and has been having diarrhea for a month and a half. The condition hasn’t improved after taking medicine. How should I handle it?
Answer
If diarrhea persists for a month and a half and medication does not improve the situation, it may be related to viral or bacterial infection, changes in climate, excessive temperature difference, or cold exposure leading to increased intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to conduct further routine stool tests to determine the cause. For diarrhea caused by indigestion, consider using pediatric multivitamin pancreatin powder or probiotics for adjustment. Additionally, pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm and ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
