Patient's question:
Good appetite since December 29, 2009. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Stool white blood cells 0 to 1. Took Mamikai Xingspi Yang'er Keli, Simita, etc. Washed twice with Youyou Xianjutang. What kind of assistance is desired: How should it be...Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea is a common pediatric disease characterized by an increase in bowel movement frequency and changes in stool characteristics, caused by multiple pathogens and factors. It is most prevalent in infants and toddlers aged 6 months to 2 years and can occur throughout the year, with the highest incidence during summer and autumn. It can be divided into infectious and non-infectious types.Non-infectious vomiting in children is primarily caused by improper feeding, such as excessive or insufficient bowel movements, extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold), or sudden changes in food types. It can also be triggered by food allergies, climate changes, or a lack of disaccharidase in the intestines. Infectious vomiting can be caused by viruses (especially rotavirus).
Vomiting is prone to cause loss of fluids and electrolytes in the baby's body. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to dehydration shock, circulatory failure, or even life-threatening conditions. Therefore, parents should promptly administer oral rehydration solutions containing various electrolytes and glucose to the affected child.
Survival care: The nutritional treatment principle for infant diarrhea is to adjust the diet, stop consuming high-fat and difficult-to-digest foods to reduce gastrointestinal pressure and gradually restore absorption function. Therefore, infants with diarrhea should be given skim milk. This allows infants to digest high-quality protein while preventing excessive fat intake, which could lead to loose stools. It aids digestion, provides nutrition, and is easily digested and absorbed by the infant's intestines.
The above advice is for the question "My baby has been having diarrhea for almost a month, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
