Patient's question:
Child has had diarrhea for several days. Has been receiving intravenous treatment at the village clinic for 3 days but hasn't improved yet. Now it's a bit greenish. Is it a bit scary. Doesn't seem to help after seeing the doctor. Now I want to go to the hospital to check the stool. Do I need to check blood routine as well? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Children can develop digestive dysfunction and diarrhea due to catching a cold, improper diet, inhaling cold air, or pathogenic bacterial infections.Recommendations:
- Drink more water.
- Apply a warm compress to the abdomen.
- Use an abdominal massage patch.
If the diarrhea and vomiting are severe, accompanied by fever, a blood test and stool test can be performed to identify the pathogen and select the correct medication. Improving digestive and absorption functions generally leads to symptom relief.
If necessary, a stool test can be conducted.
