Patient's question:
A 5-month-old infant with pneumonia and high fever has started having diarrhea after enema for 1 month. The detailed examination of the stool results are yellow, foul-smelling, watery, with fat droplets 2-3, and HRV (-). (Nausea and vomiting with yellow, watery stool began 1 month ago). Previous treatment and effectiveness: What kind of assistance is needed: How is it being treated now for effectiveness, is changing diapers related to milk, or is it related to the enema?Doctor's answer:
After the baby recovered from pneumonia, loose stools reappeared. It is considered that the digestive function disorder is caused by the illness, and generally, gradual care is required. Enemas will not significantly interfere with the baby's absorption function.Advice: If the baby's weight gain is normal and increases by double at 3 months compared to birth, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to focus on taking Shenlin Bai Zhu Granules and Mimi Ai instead of Bao Le An. Montmorillonite can be used alone; Jian Pi San can be temporarily avoided.
