Patient's question:
The baby is four months old and has had loose stools for over ten days. Initially, the stools were yellow, but after taking Amoxicillin granules, they turned green. The medication was then stopped. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
First, pay attention to the fact that it is necessary to carefully check your child's stool before starting antibiotic treatment. Because antibiotics can only be used for treatment if there is inflammation. If there is no inflammation and antibiotics are used, it may further disrupt the intestinal flora, leading to digestive problems such as green, loose stools. Therefore, it is currently recommended that children can take probiotics orally to regulate their health. At the same time, if there are frequent episodes of nausea and vomiting, oral medication such as Montmorillonite can be taken. It is also recommended to take a stool sample from the child for a thorough examination. The above advice is for the question "My baby is four months old and has had loose stools for more than ten days, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
