Question
A 15-month-old girl had clear runny nose yesterday. She took silver and gold infusion and bupleurum and pinellia liquid in the afternoon and evening. In the middle of the night, she had watery diarrhea and vomiting, with a strange taste in her mouth. Today, the doctor prescribed trypsin, pediatric chicken gizzard powder, montmorillonite powder, and bifidobacteria for her. She hasn’t had a bowel movement this morning, ate congee for lunch, and noodles for dinner, and has had two bowel movements since then. Although the stool is no longer as loose, it seems to contain undigested congee. She also has a strange taste when burping. What kind of food should I give her? Should I continue with the original medication, or do I need to change it? How was the past treatment and its effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended to combine the use of Xiao Chaihu Granules for treatment. There is no need to worry; monitor the child’s body temperature and ensure she drinks plenty of water. The pediatric chicken gizzard powder, montmorillonite powder, and bifidobacteria can continue to be taken. If the child has a fever, you can also combine the use of Feverall for fever reduction. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
