Patient's question:
My daughter had diarrhea on August 15th, which was quite severe at the time, so she received injections for two days, and it improved a bit. However, it never fully recovered afterward. Her daily bowel movements were not well-formed and were quite loose. Sometimes she had two bowel movements a day, and other times three. Subsequently, on August 21st and August 28th, her stool was tested, and no abnormalities were found. The conclusion was digestive system disorder, and medication was prescribed, but there was no significant improvement. Today, on October 5th, she went to the hospital again for a stool test, which showed red blood cells 0~2 and a small amount of white blood cells.

Baby has diarrhea, a stool test should be done to check if it's a bacterial infection or a viral infection. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics are needed. If it's a viral infection, antibiotics are not required—only oral probiotics are necessary. If there are accompanying symptoms like fever, symptomatic treatment can be given. It's important to pay attention to avoid eating raw, cold, or irritating foods at all times. Everything to be eaten or drunk must be hot, including water. Leftover food and cold dishes should not be consumed, and sitting on cold benches is also to be avoided in winter.
