Patient's question:
The baby is now nine and a half months old. The current bowel movements contain formula and are green, with some foam. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Go to the hospital to check the cause of the baby's diarrhea and treat it accordingly. (1) Children with severe diarrhea and dehydration symptoms may need to be hospitalized or receive intravenous treatment if necessary. (2) There is no need to strictly restrict food intake. You can moderately reduce the frequency of feeding, provide a sugar and salt solution for feeding, and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Children with diarrhea should be isolated to prevent cross-infection, maintain cleanliness, and avoid secondary infections. The digestive system of young children is underdeveloped, and they have poor tolerance to changes in food quality and quantity, making it difficult for them to adapt to significant changes in the type and amount of food.
