Patient's question:
The baby is breastfeeding and has diarrhea with watery, yellow stool, sometimes with a bit of curdled milk. The bowel movements are irregular at times. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea in children is generally related to viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, significant temperature differences, and exposure to cold, which can lead to increased intestinal motility. It is recommended to conduct further detailed tests. Treatment for digestive disorders can include oral administration of Compound Pancreatin Powder for Children and Beiqu, with a gap of several hours between the two medications. If it is intestinal inflammation, additional medication such as Libao for Children should be taken. Apply Dinggui Er Moxibustion Patches to the navel. Pay attention to preventing abdominal cold and drink more water to avoid dehydration. The mother should minimize the intake of extremely cold, spicy, and greasy foods.
