Patient's question:
Diarrhea with frequent loose green stools occasionally containing curds, without affecting appetite. It has been going on for over a month, possibly due to internal heat. What is the cause? What are the effects on the child? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea is a common symptom. This means that the frequency of bowel movements is significantly higher than usual habits. The stool is loose and contains increased moisture. Daily stool output exceeds 200 grams, or contains undigested food, pus, and mucus. Diarrhea is often accompanied by symptoms such as urgent bowel movements, anal discomfort, and incontinence. Pay attention to food hygiene: strengthen health education, strictly manage water sources and food hygiene. Food should be fresh and clean. All spoiled food should not be given to children. Food utensils must also be disinfected. Promote breastfeeding: especially breastfeeding in the first few months of life. Because breast milk is most suitable for the nutritional and digestive needs of infants. In addition to chronic diseases such as heart disease and kidney disease, breastfeeding should also be promoted. Pay attention to proper feeding methods to achieve regular breastfeeding and avoid weaning during the summer or when the child is sick.
