Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea and poor digestion for about twenty days. After taking many medications, it was discovered that the baby is lactose intolerant, and the diarrhea improved after switching to a lactose-free formula. Suddenly, the baby had a high fever of 39℃ for two days, followed by another episode of diarrhea. When taken to the hospital, the doctor still diagnosed it as poor digestion with loose stools, curdled-like and containing milk curds. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is generally caused by gastrointestinal digestive disorders in the baby. It is recommended to take probiotics orally to regulate the intestinal flora, while also taking antiviral medication. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid spicy and irritating foods. For severe diarrhea and dehydration in children, appropriate intravenous fluid treatment is needed. Of course, oral rehydration salts can also be used. If the diarrhea is mild, some medication can be taken for treatment. It is recommended to go to a formal and professional hospital for examination and treatment if the condition is severe.
