Patient's question:
A 37-day-old baby is vomiting frequently, has yellow urine, and hasn't had a bowel movement in a day.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Baby issues should be handled with caution; do not self-medicate, as the consequences can be difficult to correct. According to your description, the baby has diarrhea, but the cause is unclear, possibly related to the use of Siqu Tang, as evidenced by frequent bowel movements and redness around the anal area. These symptoms require a visit to the doctor for a clear diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Otherwise, the condition may worsen, and the baby will suffer more. It is recommended to take the baby to the doctor instead of worrying at home.Note: Babies are young, and their conditions can change rapidly. Any abnormalities should be addressed promptly to prevent delaying treatment. If the baby's anal area is red, cleaning the buttocks after each bowel movement and applying antiseptic cod liver oil can help create a barrier, and the redness should improve quickly.
