Question
A 3 and a half month old baby has been experiencing watery stools for 4 days, with yellow stools in the stool, and today clay-colored stools have appeared (after taking traditional Chinese medicine yesterday). Due to insufficient breast milk, the baby has been fed formula multiple times and has consumed fish soup and pork rib soup. Stool tests show the presence of fat globules. The doctor has diagnosed dyspepsia and treatments include Bubu belly button plasters, traditional Chinese medicine, Simeticon, and Laxative granules. Inquire about past treatment situations and effects, as well as how to quickly stop diarrhea and explain the reason for the clay-colored stools.
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s condition may be caused by dyspepsia. It is recommended to conduct regular stool checks to rule out enteritis and use medications that promote digestion to help the baby recover faster. I suggest using Jini Jin San (Chicken Gizzards Powder), Pian Ji San (Spleen Strengthening Powder), MamiAi, and applying Dinggui’er belly button plasters externally. This approach should yield better results.
