Patient's question:
8-day illness description: All symptoms: Diarrhea, low-grade fever (around 37-37.3°C) in the morning, generally good spirits, slightly fussy.Onset and cause of illness: The child is now 6 months and 4 days old, breastfed, and has never been sick since birth. About half a month ago, some formula milk, carrot juice, and rice powder were occasionally added as supplementary foods. The stool had been normal, once a day, and was thick. On the last Friday afternoon, a small piece of potato was tried as mashed potato for the first time, but the child didn’t like it much and only ate a little. On Saturday morning, the stool was slightly looser, and in the afternoon, another stool was passed, similar to the morning’s, also slightly looser. On Sunday morning, the stool was even looser, with a "popping" sound while passing, and by noon, it was even looser, with three bowel movements.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the baby has been experiencing low-grade fever symptoms for nearly a week, with increased bowel movements, frothy and egg-like stools. This situation is still considered to be caused by indigestion.Hello, based on the symptoms you described, it is still likely caused by indigestion. Currently, the baby is being treated with Mimi Ai and Montmorillonite. You can also take Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets orally for regulation. It will not cause malnutrition, so don’t worry too much—just continue the treatment and see how it goes.
According to your description, the child has had diarrhea and low-grade fever for six days, and the C-reactive protein test results are elevated. It is possible that there is inflammation, so you can take Cefixime, Mimi Ai, and Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets. You can also apply warm compresses to the abdomen and pay attention to keeping it warm.
