Patient's question:
Is it the most accurate way to check a ten-month-old baby's digestive and absorption function by examining the stool? I have given my daughter a box of zinc supplements and she is also taking absorption medicine, but she hasn't grown in height for over a month and her weight hasn't increased either. What's going on? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
You can tell if a baby is having digestive issues by looking at their stool. Under normal circumstances, it should be yellow and soft. Therefore, when introducing solid foods to a baby, it's important to start with thin textures and gradually move to thicker ones, introducing one new food at a time, and increasing the amount slowly to help the baby recover. You can also try Ti Pí Yǎng ér Kē to support digestion. The above advice is for the question "Using stool tests to check a 10-month-old baby's digestive and absorption function is the most accurate." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
