Patient's question:
My wife just had a baby a few days ago, but she noticed that the child seems a bit abnormal. The baby is unwilling to eat milk and is vomiting. The number of bowel movements has also increased significantly, with about ten episodes a day. She quickly took the child to the hospital for examination. The examination results showed that the baby had developed neonatal infectious diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for neonatal infectious diarrhea, infection control should be implemented based on the pathogen and drug sensitivity results. Antibiotics should be selected, such as third-generation cephalosporins or amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium (Augmentin) for Gram-negative bacteria. Antibiotics are not necessary for viral diarrhea. For fungal enteritis, antibiotics should be discontinued and nystatin should be taken orally.
