Patient's question:
The baby has been having four or five bowel movements in the past two days, and they are a bit runny. What should I do? Especially after eating milk, she always urinates (female, 2 months). She has already taken probiotics for two days, but it's still not working. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child has recently experienced four to five episodes of loose stools daily after nursing, and oral probiotics have not been effective. What could be the reason? First, it is recommended to improve the stool routine and occult blood test. Additionally, it is necessary to rule out small intestinal absorption dysfunction (by improving one of the D-xylitol absorption test, vitamin B12 absorption test, or galactose breath test) and disaccharidase deficiency syndrome (such as disaccharide tolerance test, lactose tolerance test, or hydrogen breath test).
