Question

The baby is one year old and has had diarrhea for the past two days, with the stool appearing white and loose. After taking medication yesterday, the stool remains loose today but is a slightly yellow color. The parent asks if the baby is about to recover, as it is now the fifth day of diarrhea. They also inquire about past treatment and effectiveness, and hope to understand how to assist in managing the situation.

Answer

The baby’s symptoms may indicate acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to administer antibiotic treatment based on the cause, such as Compound New Noximin or Fluorophacin. Diet should consist of light, fluid foods like rice porridge, diluted fruit juice, and noodle soup to ensure nutrition and reduce gastrointestinal irritation. If the condition does not improve or is accompanied by other symptoms, medical attention should be sought promptly.
