Patient's question:
A little over two months ago, I started having green, bloody stools and went to the hospital to get checked. It was diagnosed as intestinal inflammation. I received intravenous drips for 5 days. Now I have yellow, but very loose stools, about 3-4 times a day. The doctor checked my stool again and found some inflammation remaining, so they are continuing the intravenous drips.Previous Treatment and Effect: After receiving 5 days of drips, my stools stopped being green but became very loose. Now I am taking probiotics (Bifidobacteria).
Question: There are white blood cells, indicating inflammation. If I don’t receive drips, what medication can help me recover?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, for infantile gastroenteritis, generally anti-inflammatory treatment is required, followed by the use of medications to care for the intestines. The recovery time for children is usually around seven days. It is recommended that the baby take: cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs for inflammation. In addition to taking bifidobacteria, it is also recommended to take: montmorillonite powder to repair damaged intestinal mucosa. At home, it is recommended to give the baby: oral rehydration solution to replenish fluids. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
