Patient's question:
The baby is 8 months old and has smelly stools. How will this affect the baby? Also, recently the baby has been having diarrhea, previously once a day, now four to five times a day, sometimes dry, sometimes loose. Hello, is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition should be functional dyspepsia. The baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite. The stool test is normal, proving there is no viral or bacterial infection. This nausea and vomiting are caused by the baby's poor gastrointestinal absorption capacity. It is recommended to feed the baby small meals more frequently and use digestive yeast powder or pancreatin enteric-coated capsules for treatment. These two medications are digestive enzymes that can help improve the baby's food absorption. At the same time, feeding the baby with pediatric spleen-strengthening powder is also beneficial.
