Patient's question:
The baby is 14 months old and has diarrhea. The stomach makes gurgling sounds, the stool is quite liquid with some mucus, and it's light yellow. A stool test shows a few white blood cells. How should it be treated? The baby has been on medication for four days, but it's still having diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
I don't know how many of the baby's so-called "some white blood cells" there are. Generally, if it doesn't exceed ten, it's not a big problem. Generally, viral infections can cause some issues with white blood cells, which is not a big deal. Generally, as long as you ensure the baby doesn't lose fluids, that's fine. Pay attention to drinking more plain water or salted hot water, and also take some probiotics to regulate the intestines. Generally, the course of viral gastroenteritis usually lasts for about a week.The above is advice for the question "Baby 14 months with diarrhea." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
