Patient's question:
My baby is now one year old. In the past two days, every time he eats something, he has yellow, unformed bowel movements. The day before yesterday, he wore less, which might have been caused by catching a cold. Currently, he is being breastfed.Hello, is this gastroenteritis? What medication should a one-year-old baby take if they have gastroenteritis?
Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old baby's gastroenteritis may be caused by indigestion, and it is necessary to combine stool routine tests, blood tests, and a doctor's careful examination for diagnosis. Due to their young age, babies have not yet developed strong absorption functions. Additionally, improper feeding methods and exposure to cold can easily lead to indigestion! It is recommended to feed very small amounts at a time and avoid overfeeding. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriately increasing probiotics and digestive aids can help with absorption and bowel movements. Combine with Traditional Chinese Medicine massage therapy.
