Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for three days. The symptoms started with nausea and loose stools, and by night, the fever reached 38 degrees Celsius. An intramuscular injection was administered to reduce the fever. On the third day, there was no fever, but the baby still had loose, watery stools, with a total of four bowel movements. Oral Montmorillonite clay and probiotics were given, along with Intestinal Health Probiotics. However, on the third day, the baby had no appetite and refused all other supplementary foods, only drinking three bottles of formula milk, which were completely expelled after consumption.Doctor's answer:
It may be due to the baby's cold causing poor gastrointestinal digestive function. It is recommended to apply mint protective oil (also known as "Bao Xin An oil," available in Hong Kong) around the umbilical area for the baby, once a day. The above advice is for the question "The baby has had diarrhea for three days, starting to feel nauseous and having loose stools, with a fever of 38 degrees Celsius at night." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
