Patient's question:
Is checking stool the most accurate way to evaluate the digestive and absorption function of a ten-month-old baby? I have given my daughter a box of zinc supplements and she is also taking an absorption medicine, but she hasn't grown in height for over a month and her weight hasn't increased either. What could be the reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
You can tell if a baby is having digestive issues by looking at their stool. Under normal circumstances, it should be yellow and soft. Therefore, when introducing solid foods to a baby, it's important to start with thin textures and gradually move to thicker ones, introducing one new food at a time, and increasing the amount gradually to help the baby recover. You can also try Tishipaiyang'er Keli to help regulate digestion. The above advice is for the question "Using stool tests to check the digestive and absorption function of a 10-month-old baby is the most accurate," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
