Patient's question:
A child ate a small piece of cake at 8 a.m. and drank half a cup of goji bean milk, which was ground at home. They went to kindergarten and said they ate oranges there. At noon, around 12 p.m., they suddenly had diarrhea and couldn't hold it in any longer to go to the bathroom. So far, they have had diarrhea twice, and the stool is a sticky, yellowish-white consistency. They are passing very loud farts, but they don't have a fever, no sore throat, and haven't mentioned any pain. It's unclear whether they ate something that disagreed with them or if there's an issue with their digestive system.Doctor's answer:
Based on your information, it is likely that it may be caused by eating unclean food or catching a cold. Considering your description, it is suspected to be gastroenteritis caused by improper diet. You can take Coptis Rhizoma (huanglian su) and combine it with Amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment. Pay attention to rest and hygiene, drink more light salt water, avoid cold and raw foods, eat a light diet, and apply warm water to the lower abdomen. The above advice is for the issue of "a child eating a small piece of cake at 8 a.m." and I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
