Patient's question:
The baby has diarrhea, with green, granular stool. Using the umbilical patch worked well, but when I took the baby out to get cold medicine, the diarrhea started again the next day, with green, granular stool. I thought it was a reaction to the medicine and didn't pay much attention. A few days later, the diarrhea didn't improve.After using the umbilical patch again, the baby had one episode of yellow, thick stool, but then the green, granular diarrhea returned. How can I treat the baby? What medicine should I use? The baby is so small—how can I help them? I'm both worried and scared. The hospital is too far away, and I can't take the baby there in case they catch a cold.
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is considered to be caused by indigestion, often resulting from factors such as exposure to cold or overeating. The child may experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, crying, and foul-smelling stools. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent these issues.I suggest paying attention to your baby's warmth to prevent exposure to cold. Drinking warm water frequently can help. Oral medications such as Children's Stomach Health Tablets and Bacillus Subtilis Live Capsules can be used for treatment. Pay attention to regular eating habits to avoid overeating, and provide appropriate complementary foods. Taking your baby outdoors for activities and exposing them to sunlight more often can also be beneficial. I hope my explanation provides you with some help.
