Patient's question:
Newborn has diarrhea and indigestion. Bowel movements are normal, but the stool is undigested. The baby's temperature is high, around 37.5 to 38 degrees Celsius. It hasn't gotten better after 2 or 3 days, and I don't know what medicine to use.Doctor's answer:
If the baby has diarrhea, it is recommended to check whether the stool is due to indigestion or intestinal inflammation. It is also important to pay attention to whether the intestinal dysfunction is caused by a common cold. For indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Montmorillonite Powder are recommended. Seek medical attention seriously and receive intravenous treatment. The feeding interval should be extended. Rest the stomach and intestines. Drink more water. If supplementary foods have been added, they should be temporarily stopped. Alternatively, the addition of supplementary foods should be reduced. After improvement, it should be gradually restored. Especially, it is not advisable to eat too much food.
