What should we do about the confusion of infant diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Age-related description of symptoms: Starting from last August, diarrhea occurred. Mainly, it manifested as mucous-like stools after dinner, which were white in color. Later, I went to the hospital for intravenous hydration, but it didn't help. Subsequently, it was diagnosed as a parasitic disease. After treatment, the condition improved. In May of this year (when the weather was hotter), the same mucous-like diarrhea appeared again after dinner. I am wondering if it could be a recurrence of the parasitic disease.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to your description, it is possible that the parasite has recurred, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay more attention to preventing this issue in children in daily life. Pay attention to your diet and consume more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, and soy products. Also, pay attention to vitamin checks and supplementation. To determine the cause of the disease, further examination in the hospital is necessary. A single text description is not sufficient. It is not ruled out that the problem may be due to incomplete treatment or the lack of improvement in unhealthy habits. Since there is a history of infection and similar symptoms have appeared, it is recommended to get checked first.
