Patient's question:
For the past half a month, it has happened twice. The most number of WBCs found in the stool image was 4-5. Can this be diagnosed as colitis? Is it necessary to use antibiotics like amoxicillin? First follow-up question: Doctor Wang Wang, can probiotics be used? The medicine you mentioned doesn't seem to be available here!Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea in babies is a very common occurrence. This is because their digestive system is not yet fully developed and is quite delicate, so it's easy for them to get diarrhea if they aren't careful. If the bacteria haven't been eliminated, the fever will likely recur. Fever-reducing medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. For moderate low-grade fever (not exceeding 38.5°C), it's recommended not to take fever-reducing medication. Fever itself is the baby's own white blood cells fighting the bacteria, which is a form of self-immune protection. The main thing is to identify the cause of the baby's fever, eliminate the virus or bacteria, and the fever will naturally subside.
