Patient's question:
The baby's stool is watery, yellow, and contains curds, with the stomach always making noises when feeding. Then, the baby has loose stools, about five to six times a day. Previously, the baby's stool was thick and only occurred every three days. On the 26th, the baby ate a sugar pill. The baby is exclusively breastfed, and the mother has been drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the mornings recently (to relieve postpartum constipation and dry stools).Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby was given Mamikai.
Type of assistance needed: Hello, is this considered diarrhea? What should be paid attention to?
Doctor's answer:
This first requires considering a stool test to confirm whether it is infant indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or fever-induced intestinal dysfunction.Recommendations:
If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Smecta and Miamai should be recommended, combined with applying Dinggui Erqi to the navel for treatment. If necessary, seek pediatric intravenous treatment at the hospital. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Offer more fluids.
If it is intestinal inflammation, it is recommended to decide on ampicillin intravenous treatment for anti-inflammatory purposes. To prevent dehydration and high fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be administered for fever reduction. It is hoped this will assist you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
