Patient's question:
My baby is 3 months old and has had diarrhea for 2 weeks. Sometimes the stool is yellow with bubbles, and sometimes it's green with curds. Eating two packs of Kentling hasn't been very effective. The baby is still having diarrhea, and it's not due to insufficient breastfeeding. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
A three-month-old baby has diarrhea. If the diarrhea occurs more than six times a day, the stool is watery. The baby is poor at feeding and lacks energy. It is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for timely medical attention to identify the cause of the diarrhea. If there is a bacterial infection, intravenous administration of antibiotics such as cephalosporins, penicillins, or macrolides may be required. At the same time, fluid therapy is needed to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances in the baby, which could lead to severe consequences. Oral medications such as Smecta and Bifidumbacterium can be combined to protect the intestinal mucosa, regulate intestinal flora, and promote the healing of the disease.
