Patient's question:
Baby is ten days old and has yellow, watery stools with milk foam. Is this normal? In the first few days, the jaundice level was forty points higher than normal. The doctor said it was called "roasting blue light." When roasting, they said the child might have loose stools. After coming home, the baby has been taking jaundice medicine and has been having loose stools. The child is usually not crying or fussing, just eating and sleeping. It seems like there is no discomfort. I want to know if this is normal. Is it because of the medicine or is it normal for the child to be like this?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check the stool test to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation in children. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Montmorillonite Powder can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the feeding interval to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being provided, temporarily stop or adjust the amount. Once recovery is stable, gradually return to a normal diet. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
