Question

The baby has cold symptoms, including phlegm in the throat, runny nose, and diarrhea, accompanied by a hoarse lung sound and fever. The symptoms have persisted for a month. The baby has undergone four days of intravenous fluid therapy, with medications including David Granules, Ceftriaxone, and Chlorphenamine Maleate Granules. How should this be handled?

Answer

The baby’s diarrhea may have several causes, including bacterial infection due to improper cleaning of bottles or food, intestinal flora imbalance caused by long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and high fever and disturbance of pathogens due to diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, otitis media, urinary tract infection, and pharyngitis. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Prepare a carrot soup with pectin to help solidify stools, adhere to bacteria and toxins in the intestines, and aid in stopping diarrhea and inhibiting bacteria. Preparation method: Wash fresh carrots clean, cut into pieces, cook with water until soft, strain the residue, add an appropriate amount of water to make soup, and finally add an appropriate amount of sugar to boil.
  2. Maintain good dietary and drinking hygiene and avoid eating food that may cause diarrhea.
  3. Use antibiotics and other medications as recommended by the doctor. Please note that these suggestions do not replace professional medical advice. If necessary, please consult a pediatrician promptly.
