Patient's question:
It's diarrhea. Yesterday it was watery with foam, and today it's sticky with poop on every diaper. It's the fifth day, and he might have caught a cold.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The first two days, he was given Mamia, and yesterday he also took a quarter of a grain of Huanglian. He was applied with Baby Patching today and was given a cup of millet soup once.
What assistance is needed: What's causing the sticky poop? How can he get better quickly?
Doctor's answer:
This first requires considering a stool test to clarify whether the diagnosis is pediatric indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or fever-induced intestinal dysfunction.Recommendations:
If it is indigestion, oral medication such as Smecta and Miamai should be recommended, combined with applying Dinggui Erqi Patches 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 suggested to decide on ampicillin intravenous infusion for anti-inflammatory treatment. 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.
