Patient's question:
My wife gave birth to a child a few days ago, but then she noticed that the child seemed a bit abnormal. It refused to eat milk and was vomiting. The number of bowel movements was also increasing, about ten times a day. So, she quickly took the child to the hospital for examination. The examination results showed that the child had developed neonatal infectious diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for neonatal infectious diarrhea, infection control should be implemented based on the pathogen and drug sensitivity results. Antibiotics should be selected, such as third-generation cephalosporins for Gram-negative bacteria or amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium (Augmentin). Antibiotics are not necessary for viral diarrhea. For fungal enteritis, antibiotics should be discontinued, and nystatin should be taken orally.The child is threatened by diaper rash, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to relieve symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
