Patient's question:
The baby is a little over one and a half years old. Recently, he hasn't eaten during the day but eats a little when he's hungry at night! The day before yesterday, he had loose stools during the day. Yesterday and today, he suddenly had bowel movements at night! During the middle of the night, he fell asleep, and only woke up after having a bowel movement! What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Consider that the baby may have a gastrointestinal infection caused by exposure to cold or unclean diet. This includes symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting. The baby might wake up at night due to a lack of strength in controlling bowel movements, so it's important to prevent further cold exposure and maintain a light diet. Oral probiotics and smectite can be taken to alleviate diarrhea and provide symptomatic treatment.The above advice is for the question "My 1.5-year-old baby hasn't been eating during the day but has been eating a little at night these past two days." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
