Question
A 7-month-old baby has diarrhea like water and sometimes throws up, it has been going on for three days. What’s going on?
Answer
Diarrhea like water in a 7-month-old baby, accompanied by vomiting, may be due to viral or bacterial infection, changes in climate, excessive temperature difference, or catching a cold. It is recommended to further check the baby’s stool regularly and consider administering pediatric compound pancreatin powder and Biseq for indigestion. If it is enteritis, additional administration of pediatric Lishui is needed. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm and provide plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
