Patient's question:
The baby had a bowel movement at noon yesterday and was given three probiotics. An hour later, he was given disodium smectite. He had another bowel movement in the evening and was given disodium smectite again. This morning, the stool was no longer runny. He ate dinner in the morning and immediately vomited it out. He also has a bit of anorexia. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital to check for dehydration, as frequent diarrhea can lead to dehydration. If it persists for a long time, the baby may again experience lethargy, which can then result in a loss of appetite. In response to this situation, parents can give the baby many anti-diarrheal medications while ensuring they drink plenty of fluids. If necessary, seek medical attention for intravenous fluid replacement. The above suggestions are for this issue and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
