Question
My baby, who is about 5 months old, has been having diarrhea for over a month. The test results show white blood cells and red blood cells. We’ve tried many medications, but they don’t seem to work. The diarrhea consists of frothy yellow liquid, sometimes resembling egg flower soup.
Answer
Considering your baby’s situation, a 5-month-old experiencing diarrhea for about a month, with white blood cells and red blood cells found in the regular stool examination, it is not ruled out that there may be an enteritis. If the medication is not effective, it may be necessary to receive intravenous fluid treatment at the hospital. While taking anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medications, some probiotics and prebiotics can also be taken to regulate the intestinal flora and improve symptoms.
