Patient's question:
Five bowel movements per day for three consecutive days, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. On the first two days, the baby was given Mimi Ai, but it had no effect. This afternoon, the baby was applied with Dinggui Er belly button patch. The baby is in good spirits, not crying or fussing, but has slightly loose yellow stools with curds. In the morning, the baby had two bowel movements, but in the afternoon, there was little movement, yet when forced, only yellow liquid came out.Previous treatment and effectiveness: No hospital visits have been made. Desired assistance: Hello, is this a bacterial infection or indigestion? Should we go to the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
The possibility of bacterial infection is unlikely. Bacterial enteritis is usually characterized by bloody and mucoid stools and abdominal pain. This situation could be due to indigestion or a viral infection. If you're not sure, you can have a stool test done. The child is generally doing well, and the most likely cause is indigestion. This is the advice for the question "Baby has diarrhea every day at four months, please ask an expert for advice." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
