Patient's question:
The child is 7 months old. Yesterday, they had 5 bowel movements, but today they had many fewer than five, with each one being relatively small. The stool is yellow, and the child is in good spirits. There is some redness around the anus. At noon, the child took the medicine prescribed by the doctor: Montmorillonite, Racemic Catechol, Brash, and fluid replacement. The child still had two or three bowel movements, but only took the medicine once at noon. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of children is not yet fully developed, with increased secretion of digestive enzymes and gastric acid, but the activity of these enzymes is relatively low. This makes it difficult to adapt to significant changes in the quality and quantity of food, leading to digestive issues. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. If digestive problems occur, taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus granules orally can be helpful.The above advice is for the question "Why did my 7-month-old child have 5 bowel movements yesterday?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
