How to treat baby with curd in stool

Patient's question:

My baby is almost ten months old now. Recently, she has been drinking very little milk. Yesterday, she had bowel movements several times, and each time it wasn't much, with some curd in it. Today, she has already started vomiting. In the evening, she started crying. She had milk twice at night, but soon after drinking it, she threw it all up. Then she started crying continuously. Should I give her milk?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby has frequent bowel movements with curds, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The presence of curds in the stool suggests indigestion, and sometimes viral infection can also cause indigestion. It is advised to collect a stool sample for a detailed examination of the stool routine and rotavirus. Based on the results, targeted medication can be administered. This is the advice for the question "My baby is almost ten months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
