Patient's question:
My daughter has been having diarrhea since she was born, except for meconium which was normal. Around 45 days, she was checked at the hospital. The test results showed mucous stools. At that time, since the child was not defecating, the doctor who was prepared beforehand said it couldn't be used. After waiting for a long time, the child still didn't defecate.Doctor's answer:
The baby has acute gastroenteritis. That falls under pediatric acute gastroenteritis. It is also relatively common because children's digestive systems are more fragile. Therefore, it is easy for such things to happen. We should pay more attention to prevention in these aspects in daily life. If the symptoms are severe, the baby should be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Treatment should be carried out based on the baby's specific symptoms. For example, if the baby has a high fever, fever-reducing treatment should be administered. If diarrhea and vomiting are particularly severe, anti-emetic and anti-diarrheal treatment should be given. At the same time, intravenous fluids should be administered to replenish fluids and nutrients. When using medication for treatment, it is first necessary to identify the cause of the gastroenteritis. This is how we can more accurately find the corresponding medication.
