Patient's question:
The baby is still young, having loose stools and defecating 78 times a day, with a gurgling stomach. How can the child be treated for frequent loose stools?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, it is recommended to immediately switch the child to a vomiting and nausea formula for feeding. Next, it is important to take the child's stool for testing, including routine stool analysis and culture, as these are necessary. If there is evidence of intestinal infection, it is essential to start antimicrobial treatment immediately. Additionally, probiotics and anti-diarrheal medications should be used in combination. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition. This is the only way to achieve symptomatic treatment and ensure a quick recovery.
