Question
The baby doesn’t like to drink water and has dry stools, occurring every 3 to 4 days. The baby was given Han Sen Si Mo Decoction orally for a week, which slightly stabilized the condition, but the symptoms recurred after discontinuing the medication.
Answer
The baby’s dry stools may be due to weak spleen and stomach function and dyspepsia. It is recommended to take medication that adjusts the intestinal flora, such as Bifidobacterium Triple-Viable Capsules, and to give the baby more water or fruit and vegetable juices to help nourish the stool.
