Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old and has had diarrhea for four or five days now, with four or five bowel movements a day. The stool is slightly loose and yellow. The day before yesterday, the baby had a stool test at a hospital, which showed a small amount of white blood cells. The doctor thought it was mild inflammation and prescribed Bifidus. The baby has been taking Bifidus for two days, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Since morning, the baby hasn't eaten much milk and has only consumed half of the usual amount. In the morning, the baby had one bowel movement, which was slightly loose and yellow. By noon, the stool was looser, less in quantity, and had a little brown, suspended substance. The baby went to another large hospital, where the doctor asked about the situation. In addition to Bifidus, the doctor prescribed two other medications: Suspenz (Cefixime Granules) and Gifort (Aluminum Phosphate Gel). IDoctor's answer:
My child is also 6 and a half months old, and the situation is the same as your child's. My child initially had bowel movements more than 10 times a day, but I insisted on giving him Bifidus. Now it's better.
