Patient's question:
It has been four days now. At first, the stool was green and a bit runny, and I had four bowel movements a day. On the third day, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said that the intestinal peristalsis was normal, so I was advised to take some probiotics. After taking them for a day, I only had one bowel movement yesterday during the day, which was fine. But at night, I had another green, runny bowel movement. Today, up until now, I have had four bowel movements, and there's some breast milk in them. The baby has been in great spirits and eating well. However, they're not as enthusiastic about eating as before! Could you please advise if the baby's condition is urgent? Should I take them to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Baby has diarrhea. It could also be a cold. If the smell of the stool is strong, it indicates poor protein digestion. In this case, you should appropriately increase the amount of milk or dilute the milk. If the stool contains many bubbles, it indicates poor carbohydrate digestion, and you must increase or even stop feeding starchy foods. The presence of curds suggests poor digestion and absorption.Recommendations:
It is recommended that you give the baby fish liver oil for digestion, which can enhance the absorption of calcium. Additionally, you can give the baby some probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial for adjusting the baby's intestinal flora, preventing stomach issues such as diarrhea and vomiting, improving digestion and absorption, and stabilizing the baby's gastrointestinal function. Probiotics and Heshengyuan are both excellent choices!
