Patient's question:
The baby is 100 days old today, a girl. Twenty days ago, her stool color was green and sticky, with 3-4 bowel movements per day. Stool routine test: + white blood cells. The doctor prescribed Ribavirin granules and Mimi Ai. She took them for a week, but the stool routine test still showed 0-3 white blood cells. The doctor asked her to continue taking the medication. After another week, the stool test still showed + white blood cells, so she stopped taking the antiviral medication. Blood routine test: Neutrophils 0.121, Lymphocytes 0.879. The doctor still asked her to continue taking the antiviral medication. She doesn't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you mentioned, it is best to actively cooperate with the clinical doctor and continue treatment and medication. Pay attention to your diet:The dietary principles for diarrhea and nutritional therapy involve dietary adjustments. Stop eating high-fat and hard-to-digest foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and gradually restore digestive function. Supplement vitamins and electrolytes for targeted treatment, and avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Active dietary treatment is very important for restoring strength. Breastfeeding mothers can adjust and shorten feeding times, while formula-fed infants can start with rice water or diluted milk—such as half water and half milk, or one-third water and two-thirds milk—starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, moving from thin to thick. Easily digestible dairy products include yogurt and skim milk. Homemade skim milk (boil milk and remove the skimmed milk skin that floats on top) is also suitable.
Below are a few examples of therapeutic dietary recipes for children with diarrhea:
Egg Yolk Porridge: Boil an egg, remove the shell and protein, and use the egg yolk to cook oil in a pot over low heat. For infants under one year old, give one egg yolk oil per day, divided into 2–3 servings. A three-day course of treatment is recommended. It helps treat diarrhea and has the effects of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, and stopping diarrhea. Egg yolk cakes steamed with a little flour and shredded ginger also have the same benefits.
Apple Porridge: Apples contain tannins, which have a laxative effect. Wash one apple, steam it, and eat the flesh or mash it into a paste for consumption. Give 30–60 grams per serving, three times a day. Apple soup is also a supplementary drink for treating diarrhea. Chop the apple, add 250 milliliters of water and a small amount of salt, and optionally add 5% sugar. Boil the mixture and drink it like tea, suitable for infants under one year old.
Chestnut Paste Porridge: Use 3–
