Patient's question:
The baby is four and a half months old and has had diarrhea for half a month. The stool analysis results show weak positivity for rotavirus and lactose intolerance test, with 2-3 white blood cells. The hospital prescribed Dingliqing and Cefixime, but there has been no improvement. A few days ago, the stool was green and watery, and recently it has been yellow and mucous. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea is primarily caused by rotavirus infection, with most cases occurring in children under the age of 5, especially those under 3.5 years old. The main clinical symptom is diarrhea, accompanied by fever, vomiting, and mild upper respiratory infection. When a child has diarrhea, their bowel movements decrease, they produce fewer tears when crying, and their stool becomes watery and frequent. The primary cause of child diarrhea is that a dry climate environment is conducive to the growth and reproduction of viruses. If parents and children do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to get sick. If parents notice that their child has autumn diarrhea, they should take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and ensure the child drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
