Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. How can I determine if a baby has post-meningitis sequelae?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for meningitis is lengthy, and some cases are severe, potentially leading to sequelae. Children have weakened immunity, and combined with the strong virulence of bacteria, they are more prone to illness.Breastfed babies' stools are yellow or dark yellow, with no unpleasant odor. The stools are soft but have a texture, sometimes appearing granular or curd-like.
Formula-fed babies' stools are light yellow or yellow-brown. Compared to breastfed babies, the remnants of formula make the stools appear larger, as formula cannot be digested as completely as breast milk.
