Patient's question:
The baby has acute diarrhea for four months, and today is the third day. The stool is watery and white, similar to the color of milk powder. Someone has pressed the abdomen twice, and as a result, the diarrhea became worse today. The child's face and forehead are a bit cool, but the hands and feet are warm.Doctor's answer:
Different pathogens cause different treatments for diarrhea. The principles of dietary and nutritional supplementation are the same as for older children with loose stools. When newborns first have loose stools, they should not be given too much milk. If breastfeeding is insufficient, diluted cow's milk (1 part water to 1 part milk) can be added, but do not be hasty and increase the milk intake too quickly. Reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and take some light salt water orally, as well as vitamin C. If you have already taken digestive enzymes and Domperidone, they can help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea may require different vitamins, such as Huanglian, Litoral, and Polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory drugs. If the general treatment does not improve the condition and the child has more than 10 watery bowel movements, take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
