Patient's question:
A 7-month-old baby has diarrhea. Initially, the baby was having green bowel movements, but now they have started having jelly-like bowel movements. The baby has taken two bags of Montmorillonite powder and probiotics. Today, the baby has also started taking infant stomach medicine. A doctor has checked and asked if it could be improving. Whether to go to the hospital or not.Doctor's answer:
From the stool, it can be seen that there is digestive disorder. If the frequency of bowel movements is high and the amount is large, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check for dehydration. How can a stool test be contagious? It is recommended to have a routine stool test. If there are white blood cells, additional anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. Cold compresses on the abdomen can be applied, and acupuncture and massage therapy can also be considered. If the frequency of bowel movements remains high, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention not to feed the child too much! I hope this helps, and wish the baby a speedy recovery!
