Patient's question:
Diarrhea for over ten days, not watery or paste-like, four to five times a day initially, now slightly better with three times a day, feeling better in the morning but still loose stools in the afternoon. Additionally, my hands and feet are always warm, though not high fever. My appetite and spirits are good, but I sweat a lot, especially at night. The hospital found inflammation in the stool and I have been taking anti-inflammatory drugs, Montmorillonite, and probiotics, but it hasn't improved. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The hands and feet are always hot, not a low fever. Appetite and mental state are good, and sweating is frequent. The reason for the hot hands and feet before sleep is lack of moisture, and the body's fluids are deficient, so naturally it gets hot. The possibility of diarrhea is high, and it may be due to insufficient attention to hygiene, leading to nausea and vomiting. If nausea and vomiting occur again, do not stop the diarrhea rashly. If it is not due to poor digestion, it is not good for the child. Additionally, anti-inflammatory drugs should not be taken together with probiotics, as their effectiveness will basically be lost when taken together. Pay attention to fluid digestion to avoid dehydration. Wishing the child a speedy and complete recovery. The above suggestions are for the problem of "Baby has recurrent diarrhea with hot hands and feet." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
