Patient's question:
A half-month diarrhea for ten days, with 6-7 bowel movements, green or yellow, resembling egg-like consistency, and having a foul odor. How should it be treated? Duration and persistence of the current episode: I suspect it was caused by eating cherries during May Day, which has lasted for ten days. Current general condition: Not yet recovered. Previous diagnosis, treatment history, and effectiveness: Seen.Doctor's answer:
I will talk to you about "infantile diarrhea." There are two reasons: one is indigestion. Mainly due to improper diet. Inappropriate feeding. Such as overeating. Or giving too much high-protein, high-fat, rough, and hard-to-digest food. Too diverse. As well as eating too much cold food, etc. This leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction and causes diarrhea: The other is gastrointestinal infection. Such as food, feeding utensils being contaminated with bacteria or viruses. This causes gastrointestinal inflammation. And thus leads to diarrhea. It must be noted that antibiotics should not be used recklessly. Only bacterial infections are indications for antibiotics. Do not overuse astringent anti-diarrheal drugs. Especially in acute stages. Generally, they should not be used. Severe diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration and acidosis, etc. If not treated promptly, it can lead to adverse consequences. Therefore, it is important to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
