Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old and has had diarrhea for four or five days now, with four or five bowel movements a day. The stool is slightly loose and yellow. Two days ago, 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 eaten much milk, only half the usual amount. In the morning, the baby had one bowel movement, which was slightly loose and yellow. By noon, the stool was looser, 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: Susfide (Cefixime Granules) and Jifushi (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 insisted on giving him Bifidus to help, and now he's better. There are many causes of infantile diarrhea. If the child is confirmed to have infantile 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.
