Patient's question:
My baby has had diarrhea for 10 days now. The main symptoms are that she needs to have bowel movements 10 to 20 times a day. The stool sometimes appears as pellets, and at other times it is yellow, watery, or mucous-like. I have taken her to see a pediatrician. Initially, she had a fever and diarrhea, and she received intravenous drips for four days. The fever subsided, but the diarrhea persisted. We have also applied an umbilical patch.Doctor's answer:
Detected infant diarrhea, it is recommended to check if the stool indicates indigestion or intestinal inflammation. At the same time, pay attention to whether it is caused by a cold-induced intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is suggested to take oral medications such as Mai Mai Jian Pi Kou Fu Ye (Milk Thistle Oral Liquid) and Montmorillonite Powder, and follow the doctor's intravenous treatment seriously. Extend feeding intervals. Allow the rest of the stomach to rest. Increase water intake. If supplementary foods are being added, they should be temporarily suspended. Alternatively, reduce the amount of supplementary food. Gradually resume normal feeding after improvement. In particular, avoid hard-to-digest foods. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
