Question

What could be the cause if a child has diarrhea with an egg-flower-like consistency?

Answer

This could be due to indigestion. It is suggested to take oral medications such as Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, MamiAi, or Simida, and maintain regular diaper changes and increased water intake. If fever is present, fever-reducing treatment is necessary, and intravenous treatment should be considered in severe cases. Additionally, it is recommended to pause or reduce the amount of complementary food provided and gradually resume after symptoms improve. When inflammation is detected in tests, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered, such as taking Cefixime. Pay attention to not consume indigestible food and maintain good dietary habits.
