Patient's question:
The baby has been having recurrent diarrhea! It has been a month and it hasn't improved at all! They have gone to the hospital several times! The diarrhea is watery, sometimes yellow, sometimes green! They have been on medication for a month without any improvement! The hospital didn't even test their stool! The medications they have taken include Cefixime, antivirals, probiotics, Drotaverine, etc., but they don't know what to do anymore? They have bowel movements four to six times a day!Doctor's answer:
The baby has been experiencing repeated nausea and vomiting. First, it's important to check how it relates to diet. For children under six months, it's essential to breastfeed on a schedule with fixed amounts. Pay attention to preventing colds by keeping warm. If the child is over six months old, start introducing complementary foods gradually. At this stage, introducing complementary foods should be done step by step, starting with fine textures and gradually increasing the amount, moving from one type to multiple different types. If complementary foods are introduced too frequently or too quickly, it may also lead to indigestion and cause nausea and vomiting.
