Question
A four-month-old girl has been experiencing persistent diarrhea, averaging 7 to 8 episodes per day, and medication has been ineffective. She has received treatment before, but the results were not good. What should I do?
Answer
When diarrhea is watery, avoid overfeeding breast milk. If breast milk is insufficient, you can add diluted milk (one part milk to one part water), but do not rush the process. Reduce the digestive system’s burden by taking moderate amounts of oral dilute saltwater, vitamin C, and the protease mixture already taken, as well as Pediapharm, which can help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea require different vitamin treatments, such as berberine, santonin, polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents should not give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If after general treatment, there is no improvement in bowel movements, and watery diarrhea exceeds ten times, you should take the child to the hospital for treatment. You can give your child Danibao Baby probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby’s own gastrointestinal function.
