Patient's question:
Medical Description: The baby is eleven months old and has been having diarrhea for five days. The stool is like water from inside an egg cake—every time they strain, it flows out from their buttocks. Test Results: No tests were done at home. The pediatrician mentioned some intestinal gas buildup, suggesting the diarrhea might be due to weather changes. However, no specific medication has been identified yet to treat it.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: Received three days of injections, which did not improve the condition. Instead, vomiting occurred, and the baby is sleeping more than usual, with no energy.
Desired Help: How can this be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be vomiting and diarrhea that have injured the spleen and stomach, leading to loss of appetite and overall weakness. It is recommended to use Si Jun Zi Tang to nourish the child. Additionally, the diet should be light, with less greasy food and fewer cold drinks. You can eat more buckwheat, oats, Job's tears, red beans, sesame seeds, jujubes, lily bulbs, millet porridge, lotus seed porridge, Chinese yam porridge, and walnuts to regulate the spleen and stomach.This is the advice for the question "My ten-month-old baby has had diarrhea for five days, and it's like water from an egg cake—what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
