Question
About a month and a half ago, my baby had an intestinal obstruction surgery and started to have a fever, cough, and diarrhea. We have been receiving saline treatment. Now the symptoms have just improved for two or three days, but the baby still has abnormal stool. They have seven to eight bowel movements a day, with little quantity, and the stool contains transparent, jelly-like substances. The color is slightly yellow. We have been treated at Dongtou People’s Hospital and Wenzhou Second Affiliated Hospital.
Answer
It is recommended to take herbs like Bushen Yitang Wan (Herbal Pill for Spleen and Intestine) and Changyan Ning (Anti-Enteritis Pill) for treatment. After recovery, you can use Xiangsha Yangwei Wan (Herbal Pill for Harmonizing Spleen and Stomach) and Lactobacillus Powder to regulate for a period of time. Pay attention to supplementing proteins and vitamins, adopting easily digestible semi-liquid low-fiber diets, eating small meals frequently to increase nutrition and improve symptoms.
