There was no vomiting, and the baby was eating normally but sleeping poorly, often restless. There were cracked skin around the anus.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is considered to be caused by enteritis, with symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, sometimes accompanied by foamy changes. A routine stool examination can help with diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment, and if necessary, intravenous treatment can be administered to correct electrolyte imbalances. Regular follow-up is recommended.First, a blood test should be conducted to check if there is a relationship with anemia. Additionally, an examination of the liver and gallbladder should be performed to check for any abnormalities. A definitive diagnosis should be made as soon as possible for symptomatic treatment.
