Patient's question:
It's diarrhea. Yesterday it was watery with foam, and today it's sticky, with poop on every diaper. It's the fifth day, and he might have a cold.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The first two days, he was given Mamiaoi. Yesterday, he also took a quarter of a grain of Huanglian, and a Baobao Yitie Ling patch was applied. Today, he was given a small amount of jiaomitang.
What assistance is needed: What causes the sticky poop? How can he get better quickly?
Doctor's answer:
This first requires considering a stool test to confirm whether it is infant indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or fever-induced intestinal dysfunction.Advice: If it is indigestion, oral medication such as Smecta and Mimi Ai is recommended, along with the use of Dinggui Erqi Patches applied to the navel for treatment. If necessary, seek pediatric intravenous treatment at the hospital. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Offer more fluids.
If it is intestinal inflammation, it is suggested that you decide on ampicillin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment. To prevent dehydration and high fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. We hope this is helpful to you and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
