Patient's question:

Stool looks like scrambled eggs, burped in the afternoon, had three bowel movements, the last one was watery. Is it indigestion? A week ago, I had diarrhea, took medicine, and it got better, but now it's coming back again. Treatment: Taken Compound Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets, Alkaline Salicylic Acid Bismuth Dry Suspension, and Glucose Electrolyte Solution. What kind of assistance is needed: How to stop diarrhea? What are some good methods?

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting disease is a group of common pediatric diseases caused by multiple pathogens and multiple factors, characterized by increased bowel movement frequency and changes in stool characteristics. In summer, the hot weather makes food easily spoil, fostering a large number of bacteria, which are the main reasons for nausea and vomiting. The main symptom of this disease is the continuous increase in the frequency and amount of the child's bowel movements, ranging from 3 to 4 times a day to over 10 times a day, while the shape also changes. Therefore, parents can roughly infer which type of nausea and vomiting the child is suffering from by observing the baby's "poop."
