What help is needed: Is it necessary to change the medication, or what should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, bacterial infection: severe diarrhea (sometimes accompanied by vomiting), accompanied by abdominal pain, bloody stools, and fever, is often caused by viruses or bacteria (such as E. coli, Salmonella, etc.). Some of these infections can heal on their own, but some can also be very serious (such as infections caused by E. coli in undercooked meat). Therefore, if your baby has the above symptoms, you should take him to see a doctor. The doctor will examine him and may also perform a stool culture to check if it is caused by a bacterial infection.
