Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for five days. They have taken probiotics, smectite, and pediatric Jianpi powder, but it hasn't helped. The baby had a fever in the afternoon of the day they started having diarrhea, which lasted for more than a day and has now improved, but the diarrhea hasn't gone away. The medicine isn't working; it's still watery. They had a stool and blood test done at the hospital, but how can you determine if it's rotavirus? Can you tell from the stool? Is rotavirus contagious?Doctor's answer:
The baby's stool test showed no significant abnormalities. When feeding the baby, pay attention to hygiene and keep the nipple clean at all times. After the baby uses the toilet, ensure hand hygiene. Due to the influence of the mother's milk on the baby's stool, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods. The diet should be regular, and cold drinks should be consumed less. You can take one package of Montmorillonite powder once a day, three times a day, before feeding; and one package of triple live bacteria powder once a day, twice a day, 30 minutes after feeding with warm water.
