Patient's question:
A half-month illness description: On July 23, the child started having diarrhea. A few days later, it turned into watery diarrhea mixed with solid stool, followed by high fever. Up until August 14, which is today, the child has not fully recovered.Treatment and outcomes at Dalian Children's Hospital: The child was taken to the hospital initially for diarrhea and was given probiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, which had no effect. Then, enemas were administered, but there was still no improvement. Finally, intravenous drips were given. However, the condition did not improve, and the child developed a high fever after the drips.
After consulting with doctors on the Wenda Yiwu website, they recommended massage therapy for the child. After a few days of massage, there was significant improvement, but the child became a bit fussy. This morning, the child had loose stools again, resembling cottage cheese with water.
Help needed: How can the diarrhea be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
When suffering from loose stools, avoid consuming excessive breast milk. If the breast milk supply is insufficient, you can add diluted milk (1 part water to 1 part milk). Do not be hasty and increase the milk intake too quickly. To reduce the burden on the digestive system, you may take some light salt water, vitamin C, and continue taking digestive aids such as gastric enzyme preparations and domperidone to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins. For example, you can use some Huanglian tablets, litramisole, or polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If the general treatment does not improve the condition and the child has watery stools more than 10 times, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for medical attention. You can give the child Danibei probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own digestive system.
