Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for more than a week. The hospital tested the stool and said it was due to catching a cold and indigestion. The baby has been taking medicine for a week, and although it's not as much as before, every time the baby has green stool. What should I do if a four-month-old baby has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the photos you took, the baby's stool contains curds, which suggests a possible case of indigestion. White blood cells were found in the routine stool test. In addition to taking cephalexin and external application, it is recommended to add probiotics such as probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. Gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction daily, and offer small amounts of lukewarm water between feedings. If breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to a light diet to avoid greasy, spicy, or other irritating foods.
