Patient's question:
The baby was born via cesarean section at full term because the mother had hepatitis B (). The baby did not breastfeed due to the mother's condition. Eight days after birth, the baby was hospitalized for six days due to umbilical cord inflammation. Two days after discharge, the baby started experiencing diarrhea. After switching to lactose-free diarrhea formula, the baby had two days without any bowel movements. However, on the third day, the diarrhea returned! This pattern of fluctuating diarrhea continued for about 20 days. The baby was then sent to the hospital due to severe dehydration from bronchitis! The baby has now been hospitalized for six days. Currently, the baby is feeding normally and in good spirits. However, there are signs of acidosis. The doctor suspects a hereditary metabolic disorder or sepsis.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, there is no reasonable explanation for why acidosis occurs, and it is considered that metabolic abnormalities may exist, leading to abnormal metabolism of organic acids in the body and resulting in acidosis. If there is a reasonable explanation, the causative factor should be corrected first, and then continue to monitor the condition.
Recommendations:
The current test is not from a hospital but primarily from medical testing institutions, such as Shengyuan Huiren and Shanghai Xinhua. You can look into these options yourself. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
