Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. Lately, he has had diarrhea. Today, he has had six episodes of it. This has never happened before. What should I do?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Today, he drank Bizi.
What kind of help do I need: I am seeking a doctor's advice.
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of infantile diarrhea are normal, but if there is sudden nausea and vomiting with frequent or large amounts, it should be paid attention to, as it may be caused by diet. If the stool is thick and cloudy, with a foul smell, it indicates inflammation. If the stool is relatively clear and has no foul smell, it proves that there is no inflammation. Generally, it can be resolved by adjusting the diet or taking pediatric anti-diarrheal medication. If there is a foul smell, it proves there is gastrointestinal inflammation, and generally, anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. Early medical consultation is recommended. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
