Patient's question:
14 months weaned. Before getting a cold, the child ate four meals a day, with each meal being a full bowl of noodles. Sometimes they had three eggs in one meal. During diarrhea, they didn't eat much. After recovering, they continued eating the same way. Recently, they had diarrhea, then a cold with a runny nose, received five bottles of intravenous fluids, and took cold and cough medicine for a few days. Is it an illness that requires treatment? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby's increased bowel movements are caused by indigestion, as the gastrointestinal function of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, making them prone to recurrent indigestion. I recommend giving your baby oral probiotics and spore-forming bacteria capsules, drinking plenty of warm water, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, eating small meals frequently to prevent overeating, and paying attention to preventing colds, especially abdominal chills. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
