Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old and has had diarrhea for four or five days. It's been going four or five times a day, with slightly loose, yellow stools. The day before yesterday, the baby had a stool test at a hospital, which showed a small amount of white blood cells. The doctor thought it was mild inflammation and prescribed Bifidus. The baby has been taking Bifidus for two days, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Since morning, the baby hasn't been eating much milk, only half the usual amount. In the morning, the baby had one bowel movement, which was slightly loose and yellow. By noon, it was more watery, less in quantity, and had a bit of brown, suspended material. The baby went to another large hospital, where the doctor asked about the situation. In addition to Bifidus, the doctor prescribed two other medications: Susphar (Cefixime Granules) and Giforse (Aluminum Phosphate Gel). IDoctor's answer:
My child is also 6 and a half months old, and the situation is the same as your child's. My child initially had bowel movements more than 10 times a day, but I persisted in giving him Bifidus. Now it's better. There are many causes of infant diarrhea. If the child is diagnosed with infant diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
