Patient's question:
The stool is very mushy. The doctor said it's intestinal inflammation. After taking medicine, it initially improved, but then it flared up again. Now, after taking many Western medicines, it hasn't been effective. It's been like this for ten days. The child is also constantly crying, probably still very uncomfortable. I really don't know what to do, so I'm here to consult about treatment methods.What kind of assistance is needed: How should chronic intestinal inflammation in infants be treated? What should be paid attention to?
Doctor's answer:
Causes of Hemorrhagic Disease. The amount of dehydration is likely to be estimated clinically based on mental state, skin elasticity, capillary refill time (usually 1.3 seconds), mucosal dryness, and the degree of sunken eyes. Laboratory tests such as packed cell volume (PCV) and plasma protein levels are used for estimation. Of course, the best approach is to confirm the animal's dehydration level through a combination of laboratory testing and clinical assessment. The confirmed amount of dehydration should be replenished within 4 to 6 hours via intravenous fluids, drinking, oral administration, or enema.
