Patient's question:
Baby is one week old. Initially, there was severe vomiting, but after taking probiotics, it turned into diarrhea. In the morning, when waking up, the stool looks a bit thicker, while from noon to evening, there are 3-4 episodes of watery, egg-like bowel movements, lasting for 4-5 days. The temperature is normal, and the baby seems to be in relatively good spirits. Recently, it has been cold, and I'm not sure if it's due to catching a cold or a bacterial infection.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby initially had vomiting and later developed diarrhea with an egg-like, watery stool, it could be possible that it's autumnal diarrhea. It's recommended to get the baby's stool tested and check for rotavirus. If there is an infection, timely treatment should be administered. The child has some diarrhea, which might be caused by indigestion or bacterial infection. Probiotics and smectite can be used to treat diarrhea. The child's diet should be balanced, with a preference for light meals. Grains,, and various fruits and vegetables should be consumed in moderation.
