Patient's question:
In the first few days of early May, it was like indigestion. I ate carrot puree, and the stool I had was mixed with red carrots. I had 3-4 bowel movements, each a little bit, and later it was just loose stools, 2-3 times a day.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that the hospital conduct tests to clarify that different types of diarrhea require different antibiotics. For enteritis and dysentery, some herbs like Huanglian (Coptis chinensis) and Litoral (Metronidazole) or polymyxin can be used. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. If the child also has digestive issues, Mamikai (probiotics) can be taken orally.If, after general treatment, the child's bowel movements do not improve and the frequency of watery diarrhea exceeds 10 times, it is important to avoid dehydration and take the child to the hospital for treatment. On a daily basis, it is advisable to give the child a probiotic powder like Mamikai to improve intestinal function and enhance the child's own gastrointestinal health.
