What is the reason for a child's egg-shaped bowel movement, and what should be done?

Patient's question:

I've had diarrhea for two days. A while ago, I was hospitalized for a week due to diarrhea and was discharged after recovering. However, two days later, the diarrhea returned. I took Montmorillonite and triple live bacteria, but it didn't improve. My stool was like scrambled eggs sometimes, but not always.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Received intravenous fluids, ate Montmorillonite and triple live bacteria.
What kind of help I need: I hope to recover soon.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, this egg-like bowel movement might be caused by rotavirus infection. It is recommended that if there is repeated nausea and vomiting, you should have a stool culture done at the hospital to see what bacteria or virus is causing the nausea and vomiting. Based on the drug sensitivity results, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be determined, and then the repeated nausea and vomiting will definitely be resolved. Additionally, it is essential to give the child saline to replenish lost fluids and prevent electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders.
