Patient's question:
For the past few months, the general situation is as follows: My baby has about 4 bowel movements a day, which are watery in consistency. At first, they were green, but now they are yellow. The baby is still in good spirits, able to eat and sleep, and is not fussy. The hospital tests showed white blood cells, but the condition hasn't changed much. What should I do? Tomorrow I have to get a shot, but I'm not sure if it will help.Doctor's answer:
Hello! It might be an intestinal infection. Enteritis is a common disease in summer and autumn. It is mostly caused by bacterial and viral infections. Salmonella is the main pathogen that causes the disease. The main symptoms include upper gastrointestinal disorders, varying degrees of diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. The main symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, shock, and other symptoms. Viral infections can also cause gastroenteritis and enteritis. Rotavirus is the most common pathogen causing children's diarrhea. In addition, other viruses that can cause gastroenteritis include adenovirus, enterovirus, hand, foot, and mouth virus, and so on. This infection can develop within two days.
