What should I do if my child has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is eighty days old, and when he was fifty days old, he started experiencing nausea and vomiting. He has been on medication for over twenty days. His bowel movements occur basically once or twice a day, but they are always abnormal, with rare, sticky mucus similar to egg white. Today, he had a bowel movement with a large amount, and it seemed to have small bubbles. He has taken Chao Shu Bao, Jīn Shuāng Qí, Montmorillonite Powder, Jian Pi San, and Ji Nei Jin. A few days ago, a stool test showed 5-6 white blood cells. I don’t know what to do. Please help me, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Friend, hello. Your child's condition may be caused by indigestion. It is recommended to use medication. If the medication is not effective, you can consider intravenous drip. The main causes of indigestion are an inappropriate dietary structure, poor eating habits, and others. There may also be cases where it is caused by a lack of zinc. Your child's diet should include more vegetables and fruits, and meat and eggs should be consumed in adequate amounts. Excessive intake can relieve gastrointestinal pressure, leading to poor digestion and absorption. It is not advisable to be picky about food, and bowel movements should be as regular as possible. When it recurs, you can use children's Jianpi San, children's Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, and gastrointestinal motility drugs. Additionally, you can supplement with gluconate zinc and multivitamin tablets. Pay attention to keeping your child warm and preventing colds. Wishing your family happiness.
