Patient's question:
The baby is 1 year and 5 months old and frequently has diarrhea. When it's runny, it's like egg flower, and when it's thick, it's white in color. It has a smell, and during naps at night, the baby often gets fussy. I don't know what's wrong?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the baby's diarrhea is caused by improper diet, it is just a bad shock, such as suddenly eating too much cold food or having a cold in the navel area, which can slow down intestinal peristalsis and lead to a more frequent number of bowel movements than usual. Listen to the intestinal sounds close to the abdomen. At this time, it is recommended to feed the baby warm water, pay attention to preventing colds in the navel or apply a navel patch, and in nine out of ten cases, it will improve. If the baby suddenly eats too much meat or other foods that are difficult to digest, the baby may experience nausea and vomiting along with diarrhea, and the appetite is very poor. At this time, it is necessary to increase the appropriate amount and reduce the feeding volume to minimize gastrointestinal pressure and give the digestive system sufficient and thorough recovery time. Feed some digestive aids appropriately.
