Patient's question:
Since the baby has had intermittent diarrhea for over ten days, what's happening in the last two days is that the first bowel movement was neither dry nor runny, but later it became a bit runny, and the second was watery. How is this possible?Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby has had diarrhea before, but it was resolved after seeing a doctor.
Help needed: I want to know what's going on.
Doctor's answer:
Detected infant diarrhea, it is recommended to conduct a thorough check and examination of the stool to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Jiaopi Oral Liquid) and Montmorillonite Powder can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval between feedings. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being provided, they should be temporarily suspended. Alternatively, supplementary foods can be gradually increased. Once recovery is stable, gradually return to a normal diet. In particular, avoid consuming indigestible foods.
