Patient's question:
My baby has been having diarrhea for more than ten days, and she even had a fever a few days ago. For the past two months, the baby hasn't gained any weight and has been losing weight. Montmorillonite and Montmorillonite Xiaoping Yang'er Granules haven't helped either. What should I do? We started checking for viral gastroenteritis, and there was a positive result for occult blood, but it was negative a few days ago. However, the diarrhea still hasn't stopped, and there hasn't been any improvement. We just want the baby to stop having diarrhea and start gaining weight normally.Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting generally refer to an increase in the frequency of bowel movements or frequent defecation, with thin or mucoid stools containing pus or blood, or the presence of undigested food and other pathological contents. Dysentery is an intestinal infectious disease characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, tenesmus, and the passage of red and white purulent or bloody stools. It is relatively common in children. It is still recommended to seek a thorough examination and treatment at a pediatric hospital for nausea and vomiting, as diarrhea and dysentery are different conditions. Your description is quite brief, so I cannot provide too many suggestions here.
