Patient's question:

Baby has diarrhea, stool test shows high white blood cells, diagnosed with gastroenteritis. Took Montmorillonite and traditional Chinese medicine anti-inflammatory drugs, condition improved. Recently, every time urinating, a little bit of stool is passed, and it's mucous. 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. Probiotics usually work 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 cause digestive issues.
The main treatment principle 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 results. It is recommended to use digestive aids such as Baby Jianpi San or Compound Gastric Protein Powder. If the baby has frequent, loose stools, Smecta can be added. Appropriate cold compresses or abdominal massage can also be applied.
