Question
A six-month-old baby has had diarrhea for a month and a half, and there has been no improvement despite taking medication. What should be done?
Answer
Diarrhea in infants may be related to viral or bacterial infections, changes in weather, excessive temperature differences, or increased intestinal peristalsis after catching a cold. It is recommended to further check the baby’s stool regularly and choose appropriate treatment based on the situation. If it is caused by indigestion, consider giving oral pediatric multivitamin enzyme powder and Biqui, using them intermittently; if it is due to enteritis, then pediatric Lishao should be added. At the same time, apply Dinggui’er umbilical cord plasters on the navel, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and increase fluid intake to prevent dehydration. These are the suggestions for this issue, hoping they will be helpful, and wish for health!
