Patient's question:
On the 16th, the baby started experiencing nausea and diarrhea simultaneously, and for the following days, it was continuous diarrhea. On the 19th, the baby didn't have a bowel movement for a whole day. By the afternoon of the 20th, after receiving intravenous fluids, the baby had two more bowel movements—initially slightly thick, but later very watery.Time of onset: On the 15th and 16th, the only thing they told me was that the blood test results were high. I felt a bit regretful, but because I was too anxious at the time, I didn’t see a pediatric or emergency doctor on the first floor and was taken to the pediatrician’s office instead. Later, I made an appointment with a pediatrician again, who asked me to get a stool test first. However, the baby hadn’t had a bowel movement for a whole day, so we decided to give intravenous fluids instead. Even after the first round of fluids, there was no change, so we didn’t proceed with the stool test and went home later.
Previous treatment and outcomes: I explained the baby’s symptoms to them, and they suggested getting a blood test first. With the test results in hand, they said the blood test results were high.
Doctor's answer:
Had a high fever, if not, it's relatively easier to manage. It is recommended to first test the stool to clarify the specific situation before further treatment. This condition is mostly caused by inflammation and can be treated with oral Montmorillonite Powder, one-third of a pack each time, three times a day. Using these two medications together can effectively address the inflammation issue while also resolving the digestive problems caused by it, with excellent results. It is also recommended to closely monitor the amount of urine. If the urine increases, it may indicate dehydration. Oral rehydration salts should be taken to prevent dehydration.
