The baby has diarrhea and is taking a triple combination of live Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium tablets. Has it gotten better after taking it?

Patient's question:

The baby is four months old and exclusively breastfed. Mild diarrhea started after 100 days. The stool is greenish and very acidic, loose, with water separation, sometimes with bubbles and mucus during passing gas. A stool examination at the hospital showed 0-2 white blood cells, with other results normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. The first step is to diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and may also add a cephalosporin antibiotic. Once the diarrhea is severe and the medication is ineffective, it is necessary to promptly start intravenous treatment.
