Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby has had diarrhea three times a day for five days in autumn. The stool contains mucus and foam. Oral probiotics were ineffective in the first two days, and yesterday's oral Fu Kui Huahua brand pediatric dual resolution anti-diarrheal granules still didn't stop the diarrhea. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there is a lot of mucus and foam in your baby's stool, it may be due to bacterial infection rather than viral infection causing autumn diarrhea.Advice: Therefore, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for a routine stool test first. If there is no bacterial infection, you can continue oral probiotics, smectite, and compound pepsin granules for regulation. If there is bacterial infection, antibiotics will be needed for treatment.
