Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby has had loose stools since birth. Half a month ago, a small amount of blood was found in the stool. Montmorillonite and bifidobacteria were taken, which improved, but the symptoms recurred after stopping the medication. What could be the reason? Previously, the stool test showed a small amount of blood, negative white blood cells, negative red blood cells, negative fat droplets, negative eggs, negative occult blood, total bacteria count 501-5000, Gram-negative bacilli 30%, Gram-positive bacilli 50%, Gram-negative cocci 5%, and Gram-positive cocci 15%. Montmorillonite and bifidobacteria were taken. What is wrong with the baby and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely that the baby has a generally weak body, an imbalance in the gastrointestinal flora, which has caused nausea and vomiting. The damage to the intestinal mucosa may have led to nausea and vomiting with blood. It is recommended to take probiotics orally to directly digest the normal physiological flora, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, enhance the absorption and elimination of nutrients, inhibit the production and elimination of enterogenic toxins, and re-adjust the imbalance of intestinal flora. Pay attention to the baby's rest, adopt a feeding method of small amounts frequently, prevent overfeeding that leads to indigestion, and avoid abdominal coldness.
