Patient's question:
Main symptoms: First had a low fever for two days, then developed diarrhea.Onset of illness: About a week ago.
Laboratory test results: Enteritis.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Initially had abdominal pain, crying sometimes and not crying other times. After two days of intravenous fluids, symptoms improved. When returning to oral medication, diarrhea recurred, occurring almost daily about 7 times, with no episodes at night.
Current medication: Dawa Ning, Clarithromycin Suspension, and Tri-enzyme Bifidobacteria Enteric-Coated Capsules.
Type of assistance needed: What methods can quickly stop diarrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Physiological diarrhea is caused by an increase in intestinal anaerobic bacteria, which destroys the intestinal barrier function and the antagonistic effect between microbial communities, leading to the production of nausea and vomiting. Its characteristics include increased bowel movements, up to 4 to 7 times a day, with loose yellow or green stools. However, the appetite is good, without accompanied by dry vomiting or fever, and weight gain is not affected. Most cases naturally recover after adjusting the diet. If physiological diarrhea is triggered by feeding, simply adjusting feeding habits can resolve the issue. If it is caused by breastfeeding, the fundamental solution is to switch to formula milk or other dairy products, which generally works effectively. Medication treatment cannot address the root problem.
