Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Diarrhea for 10 days now, about 6-7 times a day. Stool is yellow. Before taking probiotics, there were curds in the stool. Has been taking probiotics these days, no curds, but the stool is quite watery.
Additionally, the baby has been sniffling at night since before being two weeks old. Doesn't sniff during the day. Has a stuffy nose; the baby is breastfed.
The baby doesn't seem to be in pain, isn't fussy, and sleeps well.
Past Treatment and Effectiveness: Took probiotics for three or four days.
Type of Help Sought:
1. What could be causing the baby to have diarrhea without being fussy? Is it related to breastfeeding? (Because the mother started riding her e-bike to work and arrived home feeling cold, she started breastfeeding immediately. Is it related to drinking cold milk?)
2. Should the baby be given any medicine for the sniffling at night? Will it interfere with the nose?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the patient's medical history and age, it is still considered to be caused by indigestion. Advice: The child's digestive system has not yet established its normal flora, which can lead to such symptoms. Sometimes it may be dry, sometimes nausea and vomiting, etc. It is recommended to take probiotics such as bifidobacteria orally for treatment. Please pay attention not to take it with hot water. The child's symptoms will gradually stabilize. The above is the advice for the question "A three-month-old baby has had diarrhea for ten days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
