Patient's question:
The baby has been having diarrhea for these few days. I took them to the doctor several times, but it's fine for two days and then back to diarrhea. They eat dinner normally and play, but they still have diarrhea, about two to three times a day. Do they really need a thorough check-up at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of infants is immature, with low secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, and low activity of digestive enzymes. They can tolerate significant variations in the type and amount of food consumed. Improper diet or feeding methods can both lead to nausea and vomiting.1. Digestive issues are common at this age, and it may be helpful to check the stool first to rule out inflammation.
2. If the stool test shows no abnormalities, you can consider using probiotics or digestive aids appropriately to monitor the situation. Examples include Bifidobacterium bifidum and Xingspi Yang'er Granules. If inflammation is detected, in addition to the aforementioned medications, antibiotics may be necessary.
