Patient's question:
How to deal with a four-month-old baby with diarrhea? At first, they had a fever but it didn't exceed 38 degrees. Sometimes the stool is like eggshells, sometimes watery, and it happens multiple times a day. It has been a week, and they have taken Montmorillonite and Mamai Ai, but it hasn't helped. What should I do? Will it be contagious? My child is a twin, and the other one has also had several episodes of diarrhea today.Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely caused by gastroenteritis. It is recommended to perform blood tests and stool tests to check for bacterial or viral infections. Regarding the baby's diarrhea, it is important to pay attention to preventing dehydration. Proper fluid intake should be ensured, and intravenous fluid therapy may be considered if necessary. Applying umbilical patches and applying cold compresses to the abdomen can also be helpful. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if a four-month-old baby has diarrhea and fever at first?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
