Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for more than a week. The hospital tested the stool and said it was due to a cold and indigestion. They have been taking medicine for a week now. Although it's not as much as before, every time they have green stool. How should a 14-day-old newborn be treated for diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Your baby's current stool routine examination results indicate: Rotavirus weak positive, fat globules 1+. This situation should be considered: rotavirus infectious enteritis. In this case, simply taking probiotics is not sufficient. It is recommended to add antiviral medication for symptomatic treatment, while also paying attention to preventing dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. For parents, it is important to help your child receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, your baby's daily diet should also be balanced in terms of nutrition, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
