Patient's question:
It's been two days, and the stool isn't very smelly either. The stool is sticky, and the child isn't really interested in eating. There are no other symptoms. I've been giving the baby apples and porridge, as well as Montmorillonite powder and navel patches. I want to ask what I should do.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to check a complete blood count and a routine stool test. If there is evidence of bacterial infection, it is advised to use the aforementioned antibiotics (e.g., cefixime) under the guidance of a doctor. If it is purely a viral infection, some antiviral medications (e.g., ribavirin granules) may be sufficient. If nausea and vomiting are severe, it is recommended to actively treat with fluid therapy to prevent dehydration in the child. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, montmorillonite powder can be tested. The above suggestions are for the question "How to treat a baby with diarrhea." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
