Question
My baby is three months old and has had diarrhea for two weeks. Sometimes the stool is yellow with froth, and other times it is green with milk curds. I’ve tried two packs of Kenton but the effect isn’t very good. What should I do, doctor?
Answer
If a three-month-old baby has diarrhea more than six times a day, with loose, watery stools and reduced appetite, leading to poor condition, it’s important to take the baby to the hospital for an immediate medical consultation to determine the cause of the diarrhea. If it’s a bacterial infection, intravenous administration of cephalosporin, penicillin, or macrolide antibiotics is required, along with fluid replacement therapy. Additionally, it’s crucial to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the baby to avoid serious consequences. Oral administration of Simethicone can be used, along with Intestinum Probiotic to protect the intestinal mucosa and regulate the intestinal flora, promoting recovery from the illness.
