Patient's question:
My baby is 50 days old and has been having sticky bowel movements, sometimes a little green, sometimes with yellow spots. Is it indigestion?Treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor prescribed probiotics, which seemed to have no effect. I then used pediatric umbilical patches and also took traditional Chinese medicine, but there was no change.
What kind of help is desired: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that the child's condition is likely caused by indigestion, which has led to changes in the characteristics of their stool. In such cases, it is necessary to conduct a routine stool examination to rule out the possibility of intestinal inflammation. By carefully examining the stool, if there is no bacterial infection, it can be diagnosed as indigestion. Through the use of digestive aid medications, the condition can be stabilized quickly. I recommend using Ji Nei Jin San (Chicken Gizzard Powder), Jian Pi San (Spleen Strengthening Powder), and probiotics for treatment. At the same time, it is important to prevent abdominal coldness, which will enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
