Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a few questions about the baby's bowel movements and urine always containing milk curds, and they always wake up during naps at night. We are doing mixed feeding. Recently, the baby's bowel movements and urine always contain milk curds, and they always wake up at night.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been given.
Seeking help:
1. What medication should be given? How did this condition arise?
2. Is it possible that the baby is uncomfortable because of the milk curds in their bowel movements and urine, causing them to wake up at night?
Doctor's answer:
The baby's stool always contains curds, which is a sign of poor digestion. Besides poor digestion, frequent waking during naps at night may be caused by increased nervous excitability due to calcium deficiency, leading to night terrors. Regarding this...1. You can give the baby some medication to aid and adjust absorption, such as Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium bifidum, etc. Additionally, you can take some medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as Jianpi Granules, to regulate the spleen and stomach and improve absorption.
2. If the baby's sleep does not improve after the spleen and stomach improve, it may be due to calcium deficiency. In this case, you can give the baby some Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution and supplement with cod liver oil to enhance calcium absorption.
