Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old. The bowel movements are loose with curds sometimes with foam. When the baby was two and a half months old, the bowel movements were mostly pus. After taking medicine, enemas, and applying abdominal patches, the baby had thick bowel movements for two or three days, with two or three bowel movements a day. Later, the baby started having loose bowel movements again. How should I treat the baby's loose bowel movements with curds at three and a half months old?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a stool test to determine whether the diarrhea is caused by bacteria, a virus, or indigestion. Different causes require different treatments, so it's recommended that you take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Also, pay attention to the relationship between the diarrhea and the formula milk your child is consuming.When patients face the harm of diarrhea, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the diarrhea does not improve after treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
