Patient's question:
Baby had jaundice at birth and took Yinzhihuang, which led to constant diarrhea, several times a day. Now the jaundice has gone, and Yinzhihuang hasn't been taken for a week, but the diarrhea still persists. What should I do? The baby is exclusively breastfed, usually fed every two hours during the day and every three to four hours at night. Eating and sleeping are normal.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's gastrointestinal development is not yet complete, and a full recovery may take longer. It is prone to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and it is possible that nausea and vomiting may be caused by this. Since it is breastfeeding, the mother's diet needs to be cautious, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Oral medications to adjust the intestinal flora and treat gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as probiotics, can be taken. If necessary, a follow-up visit to the hospital for a detailed examination of the stool can be arranged.
