Patient's question:
The baby has been having loose stools for the past week, with 3-4 bowel movements daily. The stool is yellow with curds and contains a lot of liquid. The routine stool test indicates poor digestion, and the baby has been taking probiotics and prebiotics. However, the stool test showed no infection, and there has been no improvement. What should the doctor do?Doctor's answer:
The absorption function of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, making them prone to experiencing digestive issues again. It is highly likely that your baby is suffering from digestive problems.Advice:
1. Currently, you may consider giving digestive-aiding traditional Chinese medicine or probiotics orally, such as infant stomach-strengthening powder or probiotics. If the bowel movements are frequent, you can add montmorillonite.
2. Pay attention to a diet with small, frequent meals to alleviate gastrointestinal pressure.
Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
