Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I gave the baby hand, foot, and mouth disease. After about two hours, the baby started having diarrhea, and it happened twice. I applied an umbilical patch, but it didn't help. Today, it happened again. Yesterday's diarrhea was like egg soup, but today it's a bit better, green with curds. What could be the reason for diarrhea after getting hand, foot, and mouth disease?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the child currently has green stools with curds, indicating digestive issues. My personal advice is to consider oral Montmorillonite clay or adjusting the gut flora medication and closely monitor the effects. You could also take a stool sample to the hospital for testing to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease can cause significant harm to children. If family members notice any symptoms, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet to help the body digest nutrients properly. We hope the child can receive professional treatment to aid in recovery!
