Patient's question:
The baby is three months old and has been having yellow-green, paste-like stools once a day with a smell of rotten vegetables. Previously, they were mixed-fed, but for the past three months, they have been exclusively breastfed. They also experience vomiting.Previous Treatment and Effects:
The baby has been taking probiotics consistently and recently consumed three doses of pediatric chicken gizzard powder.
Help Needed:
What other medications can they take?
Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby's digestive problems are caused by indigestion, because infants and young children have incomplete absorption, making them prone to recurring indigestion. I recommend giving your baby oral probiotics and Bifidumbacterium infantis, drinking plenty of warm water, and feeding breast milk in small, frequent meals to prevent overeating. The mother should eat light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, or irritating foods. The baby should also pay attention to staying warm to prevent catching a cold. I hope my explanation brings you some help.
