Question
Since April 16, 2011, my son has been having eleven to twelve bowel movements daily, with feces appearing greenish and containing debris and water. Although probiotics have been administered, the symptoms have not improved. How should I handle this situation? I hope to receive assistance: how can I help my child recover quickly? How significant is this condition for the child’s development?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child may be suffering from acute enteritis. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination and receive active treatment. Firstly, proper feeding, enhanced care, and attention to abdominal warmth should be ensured, as well as avoiding cold and dampness, increasing nutrition, supplementing vitamins, and supplemented with symptomatic treatment. For example, diarrhea can be treated with montmorillonite powder, abdominal pain and bowel sounds can be treated with 654-2, etc. If accompanied by dyspepsia and abdominal distension, lactase and pancreatic enzyme powders can be used. In severe cases, intravenous fluid replacement may be necessary. Specific treatment should follow the guidance of a clinical physician. The above is for reference only; it is recommended to check stool analysis.
