Patient's question:
Our baby started having yellow diarrhea and went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor said it was autumnal gastroenteritis. After 9 days of treatment at the hospital, it had already improved. However, just a few hours after coming home, the baby started having yellow diarrhea again. Could this be related to breastfeeding? The child is currently 25 days old. Treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor diagnosed it as autumnal gastroenteritis and the baby was treated for 9 days. The baby was on formula milk, but after returning home and starting breastfeeding, the diarrhea returned again. What help is needed: Is it related to breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly about the treatment of nausea and vomiting in autumn for 8 days, which was completely recovered. Later, at home, breastfeeding has started to cause nausea and vomiting again. It is considered that the baby may have lactose intolerance in breast milk, which has led to the current condition of the baby. If the baby is alert, sleeps deeply, and has relatively normal diet, probiotics and smectite can be given orally to the baby while breastfeeding. If the nausea and vomiting are still severe, it is recommended to switch to an anti-nausea and vomiting formula diet.
