Patient's question:
Medical Description: The little baby started having diarrhea about half a month and a half ago. The frequency of diarrhea was not too high, but there was formula in the stool. The baby has not been eating much (after weaning at eleven months, they have been drinking formula and eating some porridge, noodles, etc.). Whenever they eat more, they have a slight fever, and the diarrhea is white in color. At a small clinic at home, they were given medication, which helped, but the symptoms returned after stopping the medication. Last week, they came to the municipal maternal and child health hospital.History of Treatment and Effect: At the municipal maternal and child health hospital, they were given intravenous fluids of Mondo and Gentamicin, along with digestive aids, but the effect was not very significant. One day, the baby had severe abdominal bloating and refused to eat anything. Blood tests showed normal electrolyte levels, and the doctor then prescribed Simotone and Domperidone. After staying in the hospital for 5 days, the doctor said there was no inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on the symptoms you described, your baby is currently experiencing diarrhea caused by indigestion. It is best to avoid giving him Mirtazapine, as improper dosage of this medication may lead to neurological side effects.Recommendations: You can give him some Lactobacillus casei (Mama Ai) along with intestinal astringent drugs such as tannic acid protein and compound pancreatin powder. For now, try to avoid introducing other complementary foods. You can cook some millet porridge and give him the liquid part, avoiding the solid millet. This is both nutritious and soothing for the stomach, and your baby will recover quickly. Once he is completely better, you can gradually reintroduce complementary foods like rice powder and egg custard. Avoid spicy or irritating foods. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
