Patient's question:
A five-month-old baby has diarrhea with watery stool and mucus. Stool routine test shows weak positive for rotavirus and adenovirus, with white blood cells 1-3. pH 5. The doctor prescribed Xingspi Yang'er Granules, cross-linked caseinase capsules, and aluminum phosphate gel. Lactase is given before each feeding. I added probiotics in the morning and evening. After one day, the stool became like curd with particles and still had mucus. Is this normal? How many days will it take to recover? What condition indicates recovery? Is the weak positive result indicative of virus transmission?Doctor's answer:
