Patient's question:
Belly. There is green water, there are bubbles, there are curds. Medical history and effectiveness: Took Align for three days, Montmorillonite powder half a pack, Children's Jijin powder a quarter, Mimi Ai half a pack, for three days. The stool is not very green, but it looks watery after defecation and is not very thick. What kind of help do you want: Should you continue to take it this way? Or how?Doctor's answer:
We need to distinguish whether the baby's diarrhea is physiological or pathological. Generally, physiological diarrhea occurs more often in breastfed babies. The baby's weight gain is stable, their mental state is good, and it does not affect their appetite. In contrast, pathological diarrhea often exhibits water-separation in the stool, poor mental state in the baby, frequent crying, and affected weight gain—either no increase, minimal increase, or even a decrease.If it is physiological diarrhea, special treatment is usually not required. The mother should pay attention to adjusting her diet, avoiding overly greasy foods, as this may worsen the baby's diarrhea. Additionally, frequent bowel movements can easily lead to a red bottom. After each bowel movement, it is essential to clean the baby's buttocks, especially the anus and surrounding area. After cleaning, use a clean cotton cloth or gauze to gently dry the area without rubbing vigorously. If the anus is red, a small amount of sesame oil can be applied to the baby. Even if there is no redness, a little sesame oil can be used as a preventive measure.
If it is pathological diarrhea, parents should take the baby to the hospital for timely treatment.
