Patient's question:
An eight-month-old baby started having diarrhea after eating chives. The diarrhea is yellow and looks like scrambled eggs. It has been going on for two days. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: Went to the rural hospital and took probiotics, but it didn't help. What kind of help is needed: What should the child eat? The child no longer needs a bottle, and breastfeeding has also stopped.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check the stool test to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation in children. Also, pay attention to whether fever has caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral liquid and probiotics are recommended. For severe cases, see a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the feeding interval and let the stomach and intestines rest. Drink more water. If supplementary food is being provided, it should be temporarily stopped. Alternatively, increase the amount of supplementary food provided. Once recovered, gradually return to a normal diet. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
