Patient's question:
Doctor, our 5-month-old baby has had diarrhea for several days. I gave him half a pack of medicine, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello, what is the baby eating that causes bacterial infection? It is essential to identify the cause of diarrhea in children. The baby's stool should be collected in a container and sent to the hospital for testing within about an hour. The test will determine whether the child's diarrhea is caused by an infection or not. Infection refers to diarrhea caused by viruses or bacteria, while non-infectious diarrhea may be due to indigestion, cold exposure, etc.
