Patient's question:
Indigestion, diarrhea for three days. On the first day, there was one episode of diarrhea, on the second day, two episodes, and on the third day, three episodes. The spirits are okay, only drinking milk, not eating supplementary foods. The stool routine test showed no abnormalities, but the blood routine test revealed high platelet count, exceeding the normal value by two times. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If the problem is purely thrombocytosis, it's not serious. It cannot be ruled out that it may be thrombocytopenia, so it is recommended to see a pediatrician. This is because infants' digestive systems are immature, with low enzyme activity, but their nutritional needs are high, and their intestines are burdened. If feeding is improper, such as overfeeding with starch or fatty foods, it can lead to changes in composition or excessive intake at one time, causing digestive system diseases and resulting in diarrhea. If diarrhea occurs, it is recommended to try granules, which can still effectively control children's diarrhea.
