Patient's question:
Baby is 5 months and 18 days old. Since birth, she hasn't had any constipation. She leaks her very often. At 2 months, we took her to the local children's hospital for a check-up, where she was given some medicine and applied a few patches of ointment. After that, she has been treated intermittently. Six days ago, she was hospitalized in the children's hospital for a thorough examination, which revealed pneumonia and bacterial infection with persistent nausea and vomiting. After discharge, her condition improved for a day, but then she started having diarrhea again. The baby is in good spirits, but she doesn't sleep well during her naps. I want to ask the doctor what I should do. I want to reduce the leakage and help the child sleep more.Doctor's answer:
The gastrointestinal development of infants is not yet complete, and the recovery process from nausea and vomiting is relatively slow. Pay attention to preventing colds in the baby's abdomen. Oral medications to adjust the intestinal flora and treat intestinal dysfunction can be used. Antibacterial drugs may be added if necessary.It is considered to be indigestion and exposure to cold. It is recommended to give the baby some medications that improve the stomach and spleen function, such as infant powder and chicken gizzard powder. Breastfeeding is recommended, and the mother should follow a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
