Patient's question:
My baby is just seven days old, a little girl. The first two days, she was fed with formula milk, and her bowel movements were green in color. In the past few days, she has been exclusively breastfed, but sometimes formula milk is used when her milk supply is insufficient. Over the past few days, her bowel movements have been as many as seven or eight times a day, and they are very yellow, very loose, with curds in them. Is it possible that my baby has diarrhea? The family is very worried. Please help, doctors! Should we go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, your child's condition is likely caused by dietary discomfort or catching a cold.Advice: It is recommended to check a stool test at the hospital. For diarrhea, you can take Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Smecta, or Sizhitang Oral Liquid, among others. The baby should eat small meals frequently and keep the abdomen warm. The mother should also eat a light diet. I hope my answer provides some help. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery and healthy, happy growth.
