Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! My twins are 53 days old. They weighed 2.5kg and 2.4kg at birth. They are being mixed-fed. The formula they are drinking is Abbott Similac, and when they were in their 30s, they could easily finish 120ml of milk each time, with intervals of 2-3 hours. But recently, many times they can only eat about 90ml of milk. Sometimes they have a bowel movement every day, but occasionally only once every 2-3 days. Their stomach often makes gurgling sounds, and they love passing gas that is very smelly. Their stools are green. They take one fish oil tablet every other day and two Lysine Adenosylmethionine B12 supplements daily (sometimes I forget). Medical history: Little Twin had diarrhea, which improved after taking probiotics.What kind of help do you need: Could you please explain what might be happening?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. The first step is to diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and may also add a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. Once the diarrhea becomes severe and medication is ineffective, it is necessary to promptly administer intravenous drip treatment.
