Patient's question:
My daughter is now 53 days old. Since the 20th day of her birth, she has been experiencing nausea and vomiting again. We initially didn't take it seriously, but later, when she started crying after having diarrhea, we took her to the doctor. At that time, no stool test was conducted, and the doctor prescribed two medications: Cefixime Granules and Montmorillonite. We took them for less than a week, but my mother-in-law insisted that she stop taking them, so we stopped.After stopping the medication, her nausea and vomiting worsened. We went to the doctor again. On August 3rd, the stool test results showed: color: yellow, consistency: loose, red blood cells: 1-3 HP, white blood cells: 5-8 HP. We continued taking the same two medications. By August 7th, the test results were: color: yellow, consistency: loose, red blood cells: occasional, white blood cells: 16-20, macrophages: 3-5 HP. After taking the medication for five more days, my mother-in-law again insisted that she stop taking the Cefixime. Two days after stopping the medication, the test results showed: color: yellow, consistency:
Doctor's answer:
Feed the baby more water, gastroenteritis may be caused by diarrhea that was not treated in time. It's okay, now they are taking medicine, and the effect of the medicine may not have fully kicked in yet. It's okay. Additionally, during the treatment for gastroenteritis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
