The child is four months old, bottle-fed, has diarrhea, the high fever has subsided, and has received vaccinations.

Patient's question:

The illness has lasted over ten days. He has been having seven to eight bowel movements a day, but now it's reduced to five to six. There was a high fever in the middle, which has already subsided. The stool is watery with mucus, and the abdomen makes rumbling sounds. It usually starts to defecate shortly after feeding.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering that the baby's condition may be caused by intestinal inflammation, it's recommended to have the baby's stool tested for a routine examination. Treatment can include administering oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration. Additionally, you can try giving the baby Cefixime granules and Amoxicillin granules, combined with Bifidumbacterium infantis for treatment. The condition should improve quickly. Furthermore, applying heat to the abdomen can help with recovery. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
