Patient's question:
A 14-day-old baby has been having about five to six episodes of loose stools per day. Is this related to the two Yinzhihuang oral solutions previously taken to treat jaundice? The medication has been stopped for about six days.Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of a relationship with dyspeptic diarrhea or enteritis. Further laboratory tests on stool routine are needed for confirmation. It is necessary to check for the presence of white blood cells. If enteritis is confirmed, Cefixime Suspension or Coptis Rhizoma Tablets can be taken for treatment. In cases where the stool routine is normal, Mamikai and Smecta are recommended for treatment.
