Question
A newborn baby has developed diarrhea symptoms, with stools appearing black-green and occurring every hour. After hospital examination, the stool test results were normal, and the diagnosis was acute enteritis, with a recommendation for intravenous treatment. Additionally, the doctor suggested a blood test for liver function, but the parents chose to start medication directly due to concerns about the baby’s suffering. How should one handle this situation?
Answer
This situation may be due to the baby’s young age and underdeveloped gastrointestinal function, leading to dyspepsia. It is recommended to administer probiotics or probiotic preparations to regulate the intestinal flora, and simultaneously take ribavirin granules. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid spicy and stimulating foods. The baby’s green stools may be related to dyspepsia, which might be associated with catching a cold, high fat content in the diet, or underdeveloped gastrointestinal development. Consider giving the baby oral probiotics, baby spleen-strengthening san, and montmorillonite.
