Question
My baby is 11 months old and is about to grow teeth. He has been having diarrhea, and whatever he eats comes right back up. Initially, his stool was green, but now he doesn’t want to eat solid food. His stool is now yellow and watery. What illness does my child have, doctor?
Answer
Hello, your baby’s condition may be due to enteritis, possibly related to catching a cold or poor intestinal function. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding colds. You can have a routine stool test done and consider giving him some montmorillonite powder and probiotics to see if there is any abdominal pain or bloating. This could be due to viral influenza, which can cause coughing, sputum production, and difficulty breathing. You can take him to the hospital for a check-up, use nebulization to dilute sputum and promote its expulsion, and treat with expectorants and cough suppressants.
