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 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 with diarrhea. They were given probiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, but it had no effect. Then, enemas were administered, which also failed to help. Finally, intravenous drips were given. The condition still did not improve, and after the drips, the child had a high fever.
After consulting with doctors on the Wenda Yiwu website, they recommended pediatric massage for the child. After several 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 too much 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 in increasing the milk intake too quickly. To reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, you may take some light salt water, vitamin C, and continue taking stomach enzyme preparations and Domperidone to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins, such as Huanglian tablets, Litoral, and polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If the condition does not improve after general treatment, and if the child has had more than 10 watery bowel movements, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. You can give the child Danibei probiotic powder to improve intestinal function and enhance the baby's own gastrointestinal function.
