Patient's question:
The baby is 4 months old and has been experiencing frequent dry cough recently. It's normal for a 4-month-old to have a few days of diarrhea, mostly watery with some curdled milk, sometimes green.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby has taken probiotics, smectite, and smectite powder, but none of them have been effective. The baby has not been to the hospital for examination.
Help needed: Could you please explain what might be causing this? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up? What tests should be done?
Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, the baby's abnormal bowel movements accompanied by dry vomiting are likely caused by indigestion. It is recommended that parents take the baby for a follow-up visit promptly. A routine stool examination can be conducted, and then treatment with Bifidobacterium quadruple live bacteria combined with Xingspi Yang'er Granules can be administered based on the doctor's diagnosis to stabilize the condition. In daily life, pay attention to feeding the baby on a regular schedule, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding. The above advice is for the question "Baby is 4 months old and has been dry vomiting and having diarrhea recently, mostly watery with curds - what could be the reason?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
