How to treat infant gastroenteritis

Patient's question:

Medical Description: My baby is 3 months and 10 days old. On July 10th, I noticed that he had some greenish poop, which was in a paste-like consistency. In the early stages of diarrhea, the doctor prescribed Nestlé Aler and Nestlé AL110 to be taken. Now, he is on Mimi Ai. I am wondering if the green poop is due to the formula and how it should be treated. Currently, the baby is sleeping in an air-conditioned room set at 28 degrees, wearing two baby clothes. Additionally, can the baby eat sugar pills when having green poop?
History of Treatment and Effect: On July 17th, the baby was hospitalized due to intestinal inflammation and was discharged on July 24th after improvement.
Desired Help: Detailed answers.

Doctor's answer:

1. Identify the cause of the baby's acute gastroenteritis: If it is caused by indigestion, dietary adjustments can be made by choosing light and easily digestible foods, and medication can be supplemented, such as taking lactobacillus and yeast tablets.
2. Pay attention to the baby's dietary hygiene: It is essential to ensure the baby's food defense, avoid raw and cold foods, and keep the abdomen warm.
3. Timely replenishment of water and electrolytes: Severe diarrhea may cause dehydration in the baby, and parents should do a good job in nursing to prevent the exacerbation of the baby's gastroenteritis.
