Patient's question:
Baby's poop is watery like milk and smells sour. What could be the reason?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took a group of absorption drugs.
What kind of assistance is needed: Is this type of poop viral diarrhea? What medicine should I use for the baby?
Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition may be rotavirus gastroenteritis. Although it is a self-limiting disease and does not require antiviral medication, it can easily cause dehydration symptoms in infants and young children, and there may even be a risk of shock. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if the child has symptoms such as crying with little tears, poor appetite, or dry lips. In a formal hospital, fluid should be supplemented according to electrolyte levels, and the child should be encouraged to drink as much water as possible while monitoring urine output.Medical advice: Since infants have poor gastrointestinal function adjustment, they may need a longer period of recovery, which could last up to a month. During this time, it is advisable to focus on stable feeding and avoid restoring the current diet too quickly. Appropriate consumption of anti-nausea and vomiting formula may also be considered.
