Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a stool test for my 3-month-old baby. The doctor found 2-3 white blood cells and prescribed Gentamicin Granules. She said to take one bag per day, two bags in total. Can I do that?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Taken probiotics.
What kind of help do you need: Can I take Gentamicin Granules?
Doctor's answer:
In normal feces, white blood cells are not visible or occasionally present. When there is an increase in neutrophils, it is commonly seen in conditions such as small intestinal or colitis. When there are more eosinophils, it is often associated with allergic enteritis or intestinal parasitic diseases. This indicates an inflammatory response, and anti-inflammatory medication may be necessary. For children taking gentamicin sulfate, caution is advised, as it is generally best to avoid it and instead consider taking cephalosporin medications. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Can I give my child gentamicin sulfate granules if there are 2-3 white blood cells in the fecal test?" and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
