Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation of the provided text into English, following your instructions:bowel movements for almost 2 months and it hasn't stopped. At first, it was diarrhea for 3 days, and I got the baby's stool tested at the women's and children's hospital. There was occult blood. White blood cells were 1-2 per high power field. The doctor prescribed probiotics and smectite. I took them for 6 days, but it didn't get better. I went to the children's hospital. Stool test. Occult blood was negative. White blood cells were 1-2 per high power field. The doctor prescribed Lactobacillus acidophilus and digestive medicine. I took them for a week, but it still didn't get better. The stool was still loose, 2-3 times a day. Before that, it was also 2-3 times a day. Then I made an appointment with an expert. Stool test. White blood cells were negative, red blood cells were 1-2 per high power field. No occult blood. The doctor prescribed digestive medicine and oral anti-diarrheal liquid. The oral liquid was really hard to drink, the baby couldn't take it at all. I took it for a week, but it was still the same. The stool was still loose with mucus. Jam-like stool. Finally, I went to another hospital. I made an appointment with a well-known expert. Stool test showed weak positivity for adenovirus, rotavirus, and occult blood. The doctor directly ordered intravenous drip for 3 days, penicillin, amino acids, and (recombinant artificial interferon injections) were given for 3 days. The medicine I took was still the same few things, but the diarrhea still occurred, with water and stool separation. After 3 days, I went for a follow-up test. It was still occult blood, rotavirus, and weak positivity for adenovirus. Finally, we considered hospitalization. The next day after admission, the stool was no longer water and stool separation, but still a bit loose. The next morning, the baby got up and had a bowel movement. Suddenly, the stool was normal! Yellow paste-like, formed. A stool test was done, and everything was normal. In the hospital, they gave IV drips every day, amino acids, saline, and vitamin C. By the afternoon, the stool became loose again. I asked the doctor what was happening. The doctor said it wasn't completely better. Let's check again in 2 days. After 2 days, the stool test showed occult blood and weak positivity for adenovirus and rotavirus again. The doctor said that a lack of potassium can cause occult blood, so they added potassium. After another 3 days, the stool test was normal again. However, the stool was still loose with lots of curds. After 11 days in the hospital, the doctor asked me to do another stool test. If it was normal, I could be discharged. After 2 days, the stool test was normal, and the doctor discharged me. But the stool was still loose. I asked the doctor why the stool wasn't formed. The doctor suggested switching to a diarrhea formula and adding noodles or a noodle paste. I ate the noodle paste for several days after discharge. After discharge, I gave the baby more diarrhea formula every day. The baby still prefers breastfeeding and doesn't want to drink the diarrhea formula. I give it a little bit with a spoon each time. It's fine, but the stool becomes smelly. The 8th day after discharge, in the morning, the baby had a bowel movement with black and red threads in it. I suspected it might be occult blood again. In the afternoon, I took the baby's stool to be tested. White blood cells were 0-1 per high power field. Occult blood was weakly positive. The doctor prescribed vitamin C and cefixime (headache). I asked the doctor why the baby still has diarrhea after so long. Although the frequency isn't high, the stool isn't normal. The doctor said there's no big problem. It's just that the baby's stool is still loose with lots of curds, 2 times a day. The doctor kept saying there's no big problem, but when will the baby's stool return to normal? Today, the person in the lab looked at the stool results and said the baby might have caught a cold. I've been taking smectite, probiotics, and lactobacillus continuously without stopping. What is going on? Today, the baby's stool is greenish-white, blocky, like jam, and still loose. It feels like it's getting worse. What test can I do to find out the cause of the diarrhea? What is the reason for the baby's diarrhea? Treatment history and effectiveness: None. Expected help: Find out the cause of the baby's diarrhea.
Doctor's answer:
Infantile diarrhea can be divided into infectious nausea and vomiting and non-infectious nausea and vomiting. Infectious nausea and vomiting are often caused by bacterial or viral infections, while non-infectious nausea and vomiting are mostly related to dietary factors, climatic factors, and other factors. Infants aged 4 to 6 months have weaker gastrointestinal functions, lower digestive enzyme activity, less stomach acid, and weaker resistance, often experiencing nausea and vomiting due to improper feeding. The first step in caring for the cause is to adjust the diet and eliminate factors related to improper feeding.
