Previously, the baby had normal bowel movements. Four days ago, the baby started having loose stools, which are abnormal.

Patient's question:

Previously, bowel movements were normal. Four days ago, the baby started having loose stools with lumps of mutton, and that same night at 1 a.m., they began experiencing repeated fever for two days. After taking fever-reducing medication, they started having dark green loose stools with lumps, still occurring five times a day. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has a fever and also has diarrhea, this indicates that the child may have gastroenteritis, which could be the cause of the fever. Therefore, it is best to promptly treat the child. You can give the child some probiotics to help regulate the intestines, and at the same time, take Montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea. Additionally, you can also give the child Gentamicin, which primarily works to reduce inflammation in the intestines.
