Name: Gao Jing
Gender: Female
Age: 0.6 years
Onset Time: 2006-10-1609:11:12
Location: Inner Mongolia
Previous Diagnosis: Dysentery
Course of Illness:
Initially had a two-day fever, initially thought it was a cold (due to exposure to typhoid patients), and the fever subsided. After a two-day break, diarrhea began, initially watery with curd-like appearance, occurring 10-12 times daily, sometimes (projectile). Later, it transformed into mucoid blood stools, often accompanied by straining during defecation, poor spirits, crying during bowel movements, and profuse sweating.
Treatment Process:
Stool tests showed a full view of white blood cells, and the doctor diagnosed dysentery. After five days of intravenous fluids, it was discovered that the child had allergic colitis.
Doctor's answer:
This is a congenital digestive function issue, so it's generally more appropriate to work with probiotics for self-regulation. If the baby has diarrhea, there's no need to completely stop complementary foods; you can keep rice porridge and vegetable puree. If the baby is formula-fed, switch to a special formula without lactose and continue for 1-2 weeks. You should take the baby to the hospital for a stool test to determine if it's bacterial or viral, and then treat accordingly.
