Question

The baby is one year old. Last night, the baby got a stomachache from the cold, and this morning, they started vomiting and had diarrhea. After taking 5 milliliters of Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, they haven’t vomited again. However, when they ate porridge and drank water, they threw up again. Just now, they also passed egg white-like watery stools.

Answer

During diarrhea, the baby’s mental state usually worsens, which is quite common. As a pediatrician, I recommend that you take the baby to the hospital to get some Simida medication. This type of medication can be taken orally or administered via enema and has a significant effect. Our hospital usually prescribes it this way, and generally speaking, the course of a child’s diarrhea can last for a while.
