Patient's question:
In the recent few days, my bowel movements have been light yellow and rather loose, sometimes like water, with about ten to twelve bowel movements per day. After three days of hospital treatment, the tests on my stool have shown no problems, but my condition has not improved. Is there any advice you can give? Thank you.Duration and course of the current illness: 3 days
Current general condition: No improvement
Medical history: Slightly elevated temperature the day before the diarrhea.
Doctor's answer:
If the child has dehydration and electrolyte disorders, they need to be hospitalized for treatment to correct the dehydration and electrolyte disorders. If the child is formula-fed, it is likely related to lactose intolerance. It is recommended to prepare special diarrhea formula for the child with diarrhea and use probiotics to adjust the gut flora and stop the diarrhea. If the child is breastfed, it is suggested that the breastfeeding mother's diet should be light, nutritious, and easy to digest, and she should temporarily avoid eating too much food. It is estimated that the gastrointestinal function of breastfeeding mothers is not very good, so the treatment for infant diarrhea should be "treatment for both mother and child"—that is to say, all of these should be treated.
