Patient's question:
My baby has bowel movements many times a day. I took him to the children's hospital. The doctor didn't do any tests and just prescribed some kind of bacteria and umbilical patches. It didn't help and things got worse. Now, he sweats a lot and cries loudly before each bowel movement, and his appetite isn't good either. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
You can do this. Send the baby's feces to the hospital for testing. Check if it is caused by indigestion or a viral infection. Under normal circumstances, if the baby has diarrhea at 3 months, it is likely related to indigestion. Probiotics and umbilical patches can improve the baby's digestive ability. If these methods don't work, check if it is caused by bacterial infection, such as bacterial enteritis. If it is bacterial enteritis, antibiotics should be used for treatment.
