Patient's question:
A three-and-a-half-month-old baby drank a few sips of a soup made with black chicken and lettuce the night before, and then had three bowel movements the next day. The stools looked normal at first, but on the third day, they started to have foam and water, and were slightly green. Some foam also came out during urination, with about six bowel movements in total. The baby wasn't in a good spirits and felt weak all over. Yesterday, they drank probiotics and applied an umbilical patch, but on the fourth day, they still had green, foamy stools and their stomach made noises. The baby is breastfed.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be caused by indigestion, often resulting from difficulties in digesting foods, overeating, or exposure to cold. Patients may experience varying degrees of abdominal pain, increased bowel sounds, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent these issues.It is advised that you pay attention to your baby's dietary habits, avoid overeating and exposure to cold, and appropriately limit their food intake to reduce pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. Oral medications such as "Children's Stomach Soothing Tablets" and "Intestinal Regulator" can be taken. Encourage your baby to engage in outdoor activities and get more sunlight exposure, and provide appropriate complementary foods. I hope my explanation brings you some help.
