Patient's question:
The stool is a bit like tofu pudding, and it has been like this for 2 or 3 days. The stool is watery. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: When it first started, the stool was still watery. Last night, I took a little bit of Bifidobacterium and Clostridium butyricum powder, and this morning, the stool that just came out is no longer watery, but it's sticky and looks like tofu pudding. What kind of assistance is needed: Please help me guess what might be the reason. Thank youDoctor's answer:
There are many reasons for a baby's diarrhea, including infectious and non-infectious factors. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the baby's stool through laboratory tests. If there is inflammation, medication should be administered promptly. If the diarrhea is caused by non-infectious factors, it is important to use anti-diarrheal medication while also providing proper care and training.Recommendation: First and foremost, it is essential to prevent the baby from dehydration. Mild dehydration in babies is primarily characterized by thirst, dry lips, reduced urine output, and irritability with a tendency to cry. If these symptoms reappear, the baby should be given fluids. You can purchase Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) from a pharmacy for this purpose.
