Question
At two months old, I carefully checked the baby’s stool last month and found white blood cells and hidden blood. I gave them probiotics and montmorillonite powder for treatment. They took probiotics for three consecutive days and probiotics for six consecutive days. The baby’s stool returned to normal, and they no longer had diarrhea. But this month, when rechecked, in addition to the continued presence of white blood cells, red blood cells and hidden blood were also found. What should I do? The doctor only suggested observation without prescribing any medication. In recent days, the baby has been making rumbling sounds in their stomach, and today they had diarrhea three times.
Answer
The regular stool test revealed the presence of white blood cells and hidden blood, indicating an inflammatory reaction in the intestines. Simply taking probiotics and montmorillonite powder may not be effective in treating the condition. If the amount of stool is not much but the frequency increases, it is recommended to use cefixime granules in conjunction with discontinuing the use of montmorillonite powder while continuing with probiotics. This is a suggestion based on the question ‘What should I do when a two-month-old baby has white blood cells and hidden blood in their stool this month?’ I hope this helps you. Wishing you health and happiness every day!
