Patient's question:
Three to four bowel movements per day with bubbles and mucus—no treatment in the past two days. Any good suggestions? Should I go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to first perform a routine stool test for diagnosis to check if there are white blood cells, which could indicate indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, be mindful of whether a cold may have caused digestive dysfunction.If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Jiaoyan Oral Liquid), probiotics, and Montmorillonite Powder may be helpful. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If introducing complementary foods, pause or reduce the amount being added. Gradually reintroduce them once symptoms improve. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, especially.
