Patient's question:
Baby, female, 7.5 months old, exclusively breastfed, diarrhea for over 3 months, loose stools, 3 to 5 times a day, sometimes with mucus, no blood streaks, development normal, spirits good. How should it be treated? In addition to lactase, is it necessary to take medication for enteritis?Doctor's answer:
A seven-and-a-half-month-old infant with breastfeeding diarrhea lasting over three months may be caused by lactose intolerance. Regular stool tests show no problems. If the infant's body is normal and weight gain is not affected, there is no need for excessive concern. The stool volume is quite large. It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of diaper rash. Oral probiotics can be taken to use probiotics to regulate the gut microbiome. Pay attention to adding complementary foods at the appropriate time. The child's check-up list shows a slight tendency towards anemia.
