Patient's question:
The baby is over 40 days old and has been having diarrhea with curd-like stools. Suddenly one day, the stool contained blood. A routine stool examination was conducted, and it was reported as normal, with no blood detected in the stool. I wonder if it might have interfered with the test results. A few days later, another episode of diarrhea occurred, and in recent days, the stool has contained red blood streaks. Additionally, probiotics were given twice, but the condition has not improved. What could be the reason? So far, it has occurred four times in total.Doctor's answer:
When feeding the baby, pay attention to hygiene. Always keep the nipple clean and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diapers. Since the baby's stool is affected by the mother's milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat properly, and avoid fried and junk foods. The diet should be regular, and cold drinks should be consumed less. Montmorillonite can be taken once a pack, three times a day, before feeding; Bifidobacterium triple live powder can be taken once a pack, twice a day, half an hour after feeding with warm water.
