Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: At one and a half months, the child had umbilical hernia, and bowel movements were normal. At 100 days, bowel movements started to become loose, occurring 2-5 times a day, accompanied by gas. There were occasional improvements during treatment, but symptoms returned after stopping medication. The hospital conducted multiple stool tests, and all results were normal. Now we dare not add complementary foods for her, it's driving us crazy. How should we treat this??Duration of the current illness and persistence: First follow-up: In the past few days, we have given her Baby Stomach Strengthening Powder (Infant Essence) without significant improvement (already used for 4 days). I don’t know the difference between Baby Stomach Strengthening Powder and Children’s Stomach Strengthening Pills. Additionally, I would like to ask...
Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea, it is recommended to check and test whether it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Simida should be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Drink more water. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or reduce the addition of new foods. Gradually reintroduce foods once symptoms improve. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
