Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Infantile acute diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection. Under a doctor's instructions, certain antibiotics such as Cefixime granules or Cefadroxil granules may be used to help reduce inflammation. For infantile acute diarrhea, it is also important to administer oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration. During treatment, attention should also be paid to diet, focusing mainly on easily digestible foods. However, please note that Cefixime granules should only be given to infants aged six months or older.
