Patient's question:
My little baby is now 13 months old. Since the day before yesterday, he has been having diarrhea, with episodes every 6-10 hours. He has very little urine, and his stool is a bit thick but very watery. Yesterday, he had a slight fever, but now he is doing fine.Doctor's answer:
??????Watery stools are often caused by viral or bacterial infections, or improper diet. It is important to assess the baby's mental response, the amount of urine output, and determine if there are signs of dehydration.It is recommended to check the stool regularly to see if there are a large number of white blood cells, which can help initially determine the possibility of invasive inflammation. Adjust the diet accordingly. If there are no signs of moderate to severe dehydration, oral rehydration can be used to prevent or correct mild to moderate dehydration.
