Patient's question:
The baby is now 10 months old and has been weaned for 1 month. On October 17th, the baby might have eaten too much. In the morning of October 18th, there was a bit of loose stool, and then another one at noon. In the evening, the baby had a high fever of 38.5°C. They took Tylenol fever reducer, and by the morning, the fever had come down. The baby started sneezing, and after the nap, the condition improved. The baby was fed three times at night, which was a relief.On October 19th, the baby ate a lot in the morning, but two hours later, vomited it all out. At noon, she was given two dumplings, and after the nap, she vomited again. In the afternoon, she vomited once more because she was feeding too quickly. At 7 PM, she had a bowel movement, which wasn't very runny but very smelly. The color was yellowish-white. At 8:23 PM, she drank 100 milliliters...
Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition is considered to be diarrhea. It is important to determine whether it is caused by a viral infection or a bacterial infection.Suggestions:
1. A routine stool examination should be conducted. If there are no pus cells or white blood cells indicating bacterial infection, antibiotics are generally not needed. If antibiotics are required, narrow-spectrum antibiotics should be used.
2. Antiviral treatment, fluid replacement, and electrolyte supplementation should be provided. It would be better to conduct a blood electrolyte test and provide corresponding supplements.
3. Montmorillonite powder, combined with racemic dorzolamide granules and quadruple live bacteria tablets, can be used for symptomatic treatment.
4. A diet of easily digestible and light foods, such as rice porridge and noodles, should be given. Fatty and sweet foods should be avoided.
Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
