Patient's question:
It's been two days now, with a maximum of four or five times a day. For the past five months, it was usually two to three times every two or three days. The baby had two bowel movements this morning, and it feels like it might be diarrhea. It's not very thick. At first, when it was more frequent, there were curds in the stool, but when it was less frequent, it was mostly in the diaper. It's a little over five months old. The past two days, it was eating rice porridge, but didn't eat any today, and still had bowel movements. Now, I'm not sure if it's the rice porridge or if it caught a cold when changing clothes the other day. I bought an umbilical patch today. Previously, I was giving Alfacalcidol drops, but should I stop now?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, introducing complementary foods at five months is a bit early. It is recommended that you give him some probiotics to regulate his system for a while. Avoid giving complementary foods recently and continue with formula as the primary food source to see how it goes. It is also suggested to visit the gastroenterology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up check and a routine stool examination, and follow the doctor's advice for intravenous treatment to address the symptoms. Eat less and more frequently in the next two days, and provide fewer complementary foods. The above advice is for the question "He has had diarrhea for two days, with a maximum of four or five times a day." I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
