Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby has had abnormal bowel movements for a while. Sometimes the stool is like residue, and sometimes it's yellow and foamy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea. The symptoms of diarrhea in children are generally considered to be caused by digestive disorders, viral infections, or bacterial infections. It is recommended to take probiotics like Bifidus and Smecta orally. Treatment involves drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and oral rehydration salts. If oral treatment is ineffective, hospitalization for intravenous therapy may be necessary. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
