Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, experiencing intermittent sharp stomach pain and diarrhea with vomiting for the past two days. The hospital urine test results indicated acute gastroenteritis. What should I do with acute gastroenteritis during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Besides antibiotics, there is only live bacteria treatment left. If you don't have a fever, you can try it, but if the fever worsens, antibiotics must be used. It's best to check your blood and urine amylase levels to rule out pancreatitis.You can take:
1. Live bacteria capsules, taken two hours after meals.
2. Symptomatic medication capsules, taken two hours after meals.
These do not affect breastfeeding. However, if the infection is severe, even without antibiotics, bacterial toxins and inflammatory factors can still be harmful to the baby.
