Patient's question:
Continuous diarrhea for a week, initially it was like scrambled eggs. After five days of intravenous fluids, there was some improvement, but it is still 4-5 times a day, with small amounts of yellow, frothy, loose stools. The test results indicate indigestion. I would like to ask how long this condition can last, and how should I care for a breastfeeding baby? Thank you! Duration of the current illness and the time it has persisted: 10 daysDoctor's answer:
Hello. The baby's symptoms may be caused by indigestion, or it could be due to a cold, or bacterial infection. It's important to feed the baby small meals frequently. The food should be warm. In this case, the baby can be treated and regulated with baby-specific medication. Also, persist in massaging the baby's abdomen multiple times a day. The baby should drink more water, pay attention to keeping warm, and get more sun exposure.
