Patient's question:
A six-month-old baby has a high fever and diarrhea. Now the fever has subsided, but the diarrhea is still ongoing. It happens every time after feeding. What could be the cause? What medication should be taken? Currently, the baby has been taking Cefixime, Smectite, and probiotics for three days with no improvement.Doctor's answer:
Considering the digestive dysfunction caused by infantile gastroenteritis, it is recommended to revisit the pediatric department for further examination. Have a stool routine and blood routine test to determine whether it is bacterial nausea and vomiting or viral diarrhea. Implement treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It is advised to give the baby more warm water to drink, pay attention to preventing colds, and use a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the baby's abdomen. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, reduce greasy intake, and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
