Question
A 7-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea for over half a month. A previous routine stool test showed the presence of white blood cells. Although the white blood cells have disappeared after taking medication, the baby still has diarrhea three times a day, with milk curdles and blood strands in the stool. Why is this happening?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea and indigestion may be related. It is recommended to give the child medications such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactase, and starch enzyme solution to promote absorption. In addition to medication treatment, it is also necessary to adjust the diet, increase milk intake, and substitute with rice porridge, sugar, and salt water. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
