Patient's question:
Recently these past few days, the baby has been having four bowel movements a day, which are yellow and runny, and he also doesn't want to eat. He doesn't cough or have a cold, and he doesn't seem to be getting angry either. It's just that he's having more bowel movements, and they don't stink. By the way, a few days ago the baby fell and vomited six times. We had a brain CT scan, and there was nothing wrong. Could the diarrhea be related to the fall? I took the baby to the doctor, and the doctor said it's intestinal disorder. I gave the baby a probiotic, which is a household staple, and after taking it for one day, the baby had one normal bowel movement. But today, for some reason, even though the baby isn't having runny stools, he had three bowel movements in the morning. Should we still continue giving him this medicine? What's wrong with the baby? What illness does he have? He's not feverish and doesn't have a cold—this is urgent!Doctor's answer:
For those whose probiotics are not effective, you may consider checking your stool first to see what type of issue it is and then treat it accordingly. You can consider taking "Montmorillonite Powder" orally in combination with "Children's Compound Chitin Powder." Using it for several days can lead to a good and complete recovery. These two medications are basically non-toxic and have a very good effect. Montmorillonite Powder has the function of adhering to bacteria and viruses and protects the gastrointestinal mucosa. This medication passes through the gastrointestinal tract without being eliminated, so it is effective and has no side effects. Children's Compound Chitin Powder is a pure Chinese herbal preparation and works very well for indigestion caused by inflammation and intestinal dysfunction. When the two medications are used together, they can effectively address the inflammation issue as well as the resulting intestinal indigestion, yielding a very good effect. If the above methods are not effective, you may consider finding a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Chinese herbal medicine treatment can be quite effective.
