Patient's question:
The baby is 100 days old today, a girl. 20 days ago, her stool color was green and sticky, with 3-4 bowel movements per day. Stool routine test showed + white blood cells. The doctor prescribed Ribavirin granules and Mimi Ai. She took them for a week, but the stool routine test still showed 0-3 white blood cells. The doctor asked her to continue taking the medication. After another week, the stool test still showed + white blood cells, so she stopped taking the antiviral medication. Blood routine test showed Neutrophils 0.121 and Lymphocytes 0.879. The doctor still asked her to continue taking the antiviral medication. She doesn't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, it is currently best to actively cooperate with the clinical doctor and continue treatment and medication. Pay attention to your diet:The nutritional treatment principle for diarrhea involves dietary adjustments, stopping the intake of high-fat and hard-to-digest foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, gradually restoring digestive function, and supplementing with vitamins and electrolytes for targeted treatment. It is crucial to avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Active dietary treatment is very important for restoring strength. Breastfeeding mothers can adjust and shorten feeding times, while formula-fed infants can initially be given rice water or diluted milk (1/2 water + 1/2 milk, or 1/3 water + 2/3 milk), starting with small amounts and gradually increasing to thicker, easily digestible dairy products such as yogurt, skim milk, or homemade skim milk (boil milk and remove the skimmed milk skin that floats on the surface).
Below are a few examples of therapeutic dietary recipes for children with diarrhea:
Egg Yolk Porridge: Boil an egg, remove the shell and protein, and use the egg yolk to cook oil in a pot over low heat. For infants under one year old, give one egg yolk oil per day, divided into 2-3 servings. A three-day course is recommended for treating diarrhea, with additional benefits of strengthening the spleen, stomach, and stopping diarrhea. Egg yolk cakes steamed with a little flour and shredded ginger also have the same effect.
Apple Porridge: Apples contain tannins, which have a diarrhea-stopping effect. Wash one apple, steam it, and eat the flesh or mash it into a paste for consumption. Give 30-60 grams per serving, three times a day. Apple soup is also a supplementary drink for treating diarrhea. Chop the apple, add 250 milliliters of water and a small amount of salt, and optionally add 5% sugar. Boil the mixture and drink it like tea, suitable for infants under one year old.
Chestnut Paste Porridge: Use 3~
