Patient's question:
My baby is 6 months old. A few days ago, he suddenly had bloody diarrhea with mild vomiting. The doctor prescribed Montmorillonite and a pediatric compound sulfamethoxazole granules. After taking the medicine for two days, the diarrhea stopped, but after stopping the medicine for a day, it started again with blood, without vomiting. I don't know what to do or how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Since the gastrointestinal function of infants is not fully developed, changes in stool characteristics can easily occur. Currently, the baby has abnormal stool, and if the baby is in good spirits and feeding normally, gastrointestinal dysfunction is more likely to be considered.Advice: If there is no mucus in the stool, the likelihood of infection is generally low. It is recommended to take Montmorillonite powder orally on an empty stomach to protect the intestinal mucosa, and to supplement with probiotics to regulate the intestines. Pay attention to oral hygiene. If necessary, it is advisable to have a stool routine examination at the hospital.
