Question
The baby has a bowel movement every 2-4 days, with yellow watery stools containing bubbles. She is breastfed and usually has a gurgling stomach. How should she be treated? What is the duration of the illness and its onset?
Answer
The child’s symptoms may be caused by dyspepsia, usually related to catching a cold or other factors. It is recommended to give the child some digestive aids such as pediatric chicken gizzard powder and Mami Love, and to stop diarrhea with attapulgite powder. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold, and ensuring that the mother who feeds the baby does not become too cold. If possible, it is suggested to conduct regular stool checks to determine the cause of the illness. If the test results show no problems, you can try using some probiotics or digestive aids to observe the effect. If the test results show inflammation, in addition to the aforementioned medications, antibiotic treatment may be required.
