Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When infants experience gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis, cefixime granules may be administered according to medical advice. However, please note that infants must be over six months old to use cefixime granules. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, smectite powder can be taken to help alleviate symptoms. If the diarrhea is due to intestinal flora imbalance, bifidobacterium quadruple live tablets may be taken orally as directed by a physician to relieve symptoms. In daily life, maintain regular feeding intervals and avoid letting the child consume excessive amounts of milk at one time.
