Question
A seven-month-old male infant has had diarrhea for 20 days and was hospitalized for five days without improvement. The stool is flaky like egg yolk, occurring four to seven times a day, and sometimes vomiting occurs after feeding. The child is losing weight but does not cry. Is emergency treatment needed, and what medications can be used?
Answer
It is recommended to use Dinggui’s umbilical patch for external application once a day to warm the middle and dispel cold and stop diarrhea; Biocodex children’s probiotic powder once to twice a day to regulate intestinal flora; and Xiaoluoyou’s diarrhea granules to clear heat, detoxify, moisten the intestines, and stop diarrhea. Please consult a professional doctor before taking any medication.
