Patient's question:
After the baby was born, he has been suffering from diarrhea after drinking breast milk. At 25 days, his stool was green, and he was suspected of having a reaction to breast milk. When taken to the hospital for examination, it was diagnosed as intestinal infection. The doctor prescribed Mammae Love and Cephalosporin for the baby. After that, the baby was switched to formula milk. Two days later, the baby stopped having diarrhea, and his stool had formed, but it was still green. The baby was then allowed to continue drinking breast milk, but he started having diarrhea again, accompanied by a runny nose-like substance. However, the baby is now not eating formula milk well. Should I continue giving him breast milk?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, the most common cause of your baby's diarrhea is lactose intolerance, which is also known as breast milk-related diarrhea.Advice:
1. This type of diarrhea will not affect your baby's growth and development. If the diarrhea is severe, you can give your baby Smecta for antidiarrheal treatment. At the same time, the mother should avoid eating raw or cold foods.
2. This type of diarrhea will gradually improve as the baby starts solid food. If it is severe, you can give your baby a lactose-free formula, also known as a diarrhea formula, for treatment.
