Question
What could be the reason for an infant experiencing diarrhea and fever?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to adjust the infant’s diet to avoid overfeeding, which can add unnecessary burden to the digestive system. Infants’ digestive systems are not fully developed, and excessive food intake may lead to indigestion, worsening diarrhea symptoms. Mothers should avoid giving cold foods and using medication improperly, as these factors can also cause indigestion. Secondly, using digestive system regulating medication to improve symptoms of the digestive tract, along with antiviral medications, can be effective. Options like Similac and Gastro-K can be chosen to regulate, as they are biopharmaceuticals with no toxic side effects and are not affected by antibiotics, ensuring safety and stability. Products like Ganbaosu, Mami Love, and Changle Kang also have similar effects. For infants over one month old, Dulaobao Granules are very effective in treating diarrhea and loose stools.
