Patient's question:
An infant has bowel movements three or four times a day. A few days ago, due to a fever, the baby received IV drips for several days. Since then, the baby has been having three or four bowel movements a day, with each being relatively small in amount. The doctor said it might be medication-induced. However, two days after stopping the drips and the medications, the baby is still having many bowel movements daily, and the little bottom is also swollen and red. What could be the reason for this?2. (The baby will still need to take sugar pills and get vaccinated tomorrow) Can this condition be explained by the vaccination?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: This situation has not occurred again before.
The kind of help needed: To determine whether it was caused by the medication and whether it will improve after stopping the medication.
Doctor's answer:
The child previously had a fever and after taking medication, changes occurred in the characteristics and frequency of bowel movements. This is related to the medication and the illness also led to gastrointestinal dysfunction. The child has frequent bowel movements, so it is recommended to take Compound Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets to regulate gastrointestinal function. For the red buttocks, you can apply sesame oil. This is due to the frequent bowel movements, and it is important to keep the area dry and clean. Vaccinations should be temporarily avoided, and they can be administered again after the child's condition has been adjusted. During this period, pay attention to diet and avoid getting cold.
