Patient's question:
Baby has frequent bowel movements, the stool is egg-shaped, with foam, and the stool is relatively loose.Hello, my baby is 5 months old. Due to insufficient breast milk, I have been supplementing with formula. My baby eats very little—typically only 60 ML of formula at 5 months. One day, following a book's advice, I gave my baby boiled egg yolk (mixed with hot water). I don’t know if it was because they ate too much (it shouldn’t have been much) or something else. The child vomited three or four times that day, and every time they ate, they vomited. After that, they stopped eating for a few days. Later, I steamed egg custard for them, and they vomited again. Since then, the child hasn’t been eating well, and the stool is still egg-shaped and somewhat runny. Recently, their appetite has worsened even more, and their stool still has foam.
What assistance is needed:
- Provide solutions
- Offer supplementary food options
Doctor's answer:
If you have indigestion, it is recommended to take Smecta and Mimi Ai orally, and then use Dinggui'er abdominal patch to apply on the navel for treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital pediatric department for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval time for changing diapers. Give more water. If it is caused by enteritis, it is recommended that you decide to use ampicillin for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. To prevent dehydration and high fever, you can choose to take oral ibuprofen suspension for fever reduction. Hope this helps you, wish your baby a quick recovery.Nursing care:
