Patient's question:
[Condition Description: The baby is 6 months old and has had diarrhea for half a month. The stool is loose, with mucus, green, and sometimes cries. Treatment history and effectiveness: Received medication from the village hospital initially it was effective but later stopped working. Desired help: Consultation, wondering if it will be a problem if it continues for a long time.]Doctor's answer:
Prevention is better than cure1. Wash your hands frequently. If the diarrhea is bacterial, frequent hand washing is the best protective measure, as the microorganisms that cause diarrhea are easily transmitted by the hands. So, use soap to wash thoroughly for 15 seconds every time you change a diaper or use the toilet.
2. Wash food thoroughly. Before feeding fruits and vegetables to your baby, make sure they are washed thoroughly, as harmful bacteria can also be transmitted through food.
3. Stick to breastfeeding. Especially for newborn babies, breast milk is the best "medicine" to fight off diseases.
4. Pay attention to keeping warm. Pay special attention to keeping your baby's stomach warm to prevent bacteria from taking advantage of the situation.
