Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 9 months old, formula-fed. In the past three months, she has experienced diarrhea every month at the beginning of the month. The stool has sometimes been green, sometimes yellow (containing undigested milk, also known as "milk residue"), and sometimes resembling mucus. She has taken Erspi Xing Ke Liao, Mamiai, and Montmorillonite Powder, but none of them were effective. After being prescribed medication by a doctor, she received intravenous fluids for 5 days at the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is likely caused by symptoms of bacterial gastroenteritis, which generally includes nausea, vomiting, retching, and yellow-green diarrhea. Your child's condition requires active treatment. I recommend that your child first focus on rest and a light, warm, and easily digestible diet. It is very important to actively seek medical treatment at the hospital for intravenous fluid and anti-inflammatory therapy, which is highly effective. It will not be very serious. Treating children's illnesses can be more challenging, so please be patient. I wish your child a speedy recovery.
