Patient's question:
A 4-month-old baby with a bacterial infection had diarrhea and took medication. The stool test was normal, but after stopping the medication, the baby had diarrhea again. The hospital tested white blood cells and the doctor diagnosed it as intestinal inflammation. After taking medication, the stool occult blood test was normal. The medication was stopped today, but in the afternoon, the baby's stool was clear again. What is going on?? It's lactose intolerance. The previous two babies took lactase and improved. I'm about to go crazy...Doctor's answer:
A child experiencing frequent diarrhea may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, resulting from irregular eating habits, overeating, or excessive snacking, cold drinks, and carbonated beverages. This chronic strain on the gastrointestinal system can lead to functional disorders. It is important to pay attention to scientific feeding practices for the child, encouraging them to eat more fruits and vegetables, high-nutrient, high-protein, high-calorie, and low-fat foods. Pay attention to giving the child digestive vitamins and trace elements, and avoid snacks, cold drinks, and carbonated beverages. Excessive snacking can hinder the child's growth and development, especially leading to digestive system disorders.
