Patient's question:
The female baby has been having diarrhea recently. When she eats probiotics, the diarrhea stops, but it comes back after a few days. The stool test showed no abnormalities, and it was said that it might be due to poor digestion. She is breastfed, and the diarrhea contains curds. The baby was given lactase, but they said probiotics should also be taken. Can probiotics be taken? Can they be taken together with lactase?Previous treatment and effectiveness:
- She was given probiotics.
- She was given lactase.
What assistance is needed:
- How can she absorb nutrients better?
- How can she avoid diarrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Indigestion can also lead to nausea and vomiting again. However, based on your description, if nausea and vomiting are accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, the main consideration is more likely to be acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended that you take probiotics and other medications for treatment, while also paying attention to drinking plenty of hot water, preventing abdominal cold, avoiding extremely cold and cool foods, as well as spicy and other irritating foods. Carefully observe for a period of time, and if necessary, you need to revisit the hospital for further examination to clarify through a routine stool test. If the condition is severe, intravenous treatment will be required.
