Patient's question:
Watery stools with eggshell-like appearance, had 5 bowel movements in one day, spirits are still okay.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Tests showed intestinal inflammation, and the doctor prescribed Huanglian Pian (a traditional Chinese medicine).
What assistance is needed: The prescribed medicine is bitter, and the baby refuses to take it. What other solutions are available?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, 5-month-old babies are most prone to indigestion, and often parents don't pay attention during feeding, only focusing on making the child eat hard. The consequence of this is loose stools, and if this continues for a long time, it can lead to enteritis.Advice: Huanglian Pian is very bitter, and naturally, babies don't want to take it. However, Western medicine should also be used sparingly, as it can have some adverse effects on 5-month-old infants. It is recommended that you properly arrange the child's diet, ensure regular feeding, and at the same time, make sure the child gets deep sleep.
Lifestyle care: Pay attention to rest and proper feeding.
