Patient's question:
The baby is seven and a half months old and has had diarrhea for over three months. The stool is loose, with three to five bowel movements per day, sometimes containing mucus but no blood streaks. The appetite is normal, and the baby is generally in good spirits. I would like to ask if this could be intestinal inflammation? Is it possible that it's physiological lactose intolerance? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
There should be some gastrointestinal inflammatory reactions. If it lasts for a long time, it may lead to an imbalance in the gut microbiota. At this time, there may be such manifestations. We can treat certain probiotics orally appropriately, and at the same time, use some anti-diarrheal drugs for treatment. However, this is the current situation. This does not indicate lactose intolerance. If weight gain is normal and urination is normal, it can be continued to be observed and food supplements can be added in a timely manner.
