Patient's question:
The baby is four months old. Yesterday, she suddenly had bloody and mucous stools. The stool test showed red blood cells and white blood cells. The doctor prescribed Montmorillonite and Cefixime granules. After taking one dose, she had green stools. Is it getting worse or better?Doctor's answer:
The condition of your baby, if it's just a plus sign for white blood cells, may not necessarily be indicative of gastroenteritis. It's important to consider a possible link to indigestion. Typically, diarrhea caused by infection doesn't last this long, but indigestion can persist for extended periods. You can first try using medications like lactase and Sanjia powder to aid digestion and see if it improves. If necessary, consider undergoing anti-infection treatment, but avoid using medication blindly.
