Patient's question:
The baby is on formula and was introduced to solid foods like rice powder and Wangzai small biscuits, as well as some scrambled egg yolks. A few days ago, there were no issues with the rice powder or biscuits, but after eating one-third of an egg yolk, the baby became uninterested in eating. Since then, the baby has been having bowel movements five to six times a day, with each being small and dry, consisting of curds. Especially after feeding, the baby has bowel movements.Previous Treatment and Effects:
During this period, the child had a fever for two days and received injections (for fever reduction and Xiyinping), as well as Montmorillonite clay and digestive aids. After the fever subsided, the child developed infantile exanthema, which has now resolved, but the baby is still experiencing diarrhea.
Desired Help:
It has been about ten days now, and the baby is using "Baby's Magic Patch" and taking probiotics, but there is no improvement. What should we do? Could the intestines be inflamed?
Doctor's answer:
The child is one year old. Having five or six bowel movements a day is a bit excessive. The child should drink more water, and the food should be light. It is essential to eat small meals frequently and try to consume easily digestible foods, which may help improve the situation. At the same time, probiotics and Shenling Bai Zhu Powder can be taken for treatment. Additionally, clockwise abdominal massage can be applied. If necessary, a stool test can be conducted to check for inflammation, which will help in providing more targeted treatment.
