Patient's question:

Baby has diarrhea, stool test shows high white blood cells, diagnosed with gastroenteritis, took Montmorillonite and Chinese anti-inflammatory medicine, condition improved, but recently every time urinating, a little bit of stool comes out, and it's mucous stool. Hello expert, what should I do? What kind of assistance is needed: what to eat...

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is caused by an imbalance in the baby's intestinal flora. Using probiotics usually works effectively. For diarrhea, pay attention to digesting fluids and avoid dehydration. If breastfeeding, the mother should be cautious about her diet. Formula should be prepared strictly according to the recommended concentration, as too thick or too thin can both cause digestive issues.
The main principle of treatment is to prevent dehydration. Smecta can be used, with 1g taken three times a day. After applying Dinggui Er Ni Tie to the navel, apply cold compresses for better effectiveness. It is recommended to use digestive aids such as Baby Jianpi San or Compound Gaopin San. If the baby has frequent, loose stools, Smecta can be added. Appropriate cold compresses or abdominal massage can also be applied.
