Patient's question:
A six-month-old child had autumnal diarrhea at three and a half months, and after fully recovering, they developed a habit of having diarrhea. They took Infant Powder and Diarrhea Stop, which were effective, but after stopping the medication for a few days, the symptoms recurred. The child seems to have no tongue coating, and their urine is not yellow. A stool test revealed fat granules, indicating indigestion. During diarrhea, the stool is loose and inconsistent in consistency.Could the experts please explain the cause of this and how to regulate it?
1. Yesterday afternoon, the stool was like egg-like with mucus, with gurgling sounds in the abdomen. Feces could be squeezed out with a burp or by straining. They took Smecta and Diarrhea Stop.
2. Today, they had only one bowel movement, which was green.
Doctor's answer:
Hello,1 Eat some liquid foods, such as milk, egg soup, and things like that. They are easier to digest and absorb, and also contain a large amount of electrolytes needed by the body, so it's best to eat these when you have diarrhea.
2 Some vegetables and fruits also have a stopping effect on diarrhea, such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and so on. Adding a little of them to your daily diet not only supplements rich vitamin C and B but also helps stop diarrhea.
