Patient's question:
1 stage milk powder is gradually replaced with 2 stage milk powder, and for the next few months, the person has been having diarrhea. Medication and intravenous fluids helped at the time, but as soon as they stopped, the diarrhea started again. Detailed examination of the stool showed no abnormalities; other conditions such as napping, diet, and mental state are quite normal. The diarrhea is watery, has a bad odor, and is expelled in a spitting-like manner.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Do you need to switch back to 1 stage milk powder? Or how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has had diarrhea for a relatively long time, and it is necessary to first identify the specific cause, otherwise, if left untreated for an extended period, it can easily interfere with normal growth and development. It is important to first monitor and measure height and weight to see how stable the growth is. Recently, there has been a lot of nausea and vomiting in the autumn, and it is necessary to rule out the possibility of rotavirus infection.Advice: You can first check if there is a deficiency of lactase in the body and, if necessary, switch to a nausea and vomiting formula for treatment. You can also take Montmorillonite powder to protect the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, it is necessary to check for rotavirus infection in the stool to see if there is a need to take antiviral medication.
