Question
My baby has had diarrhea for five days now. We’ve tried giving them Bifidobacterium, Montmorillonite Powder, and Children’s Digestive Health Powder, but there’s been no improvement. The diarrhea started on the afternoon of the day they had a fever, which lasted for over a day and then improved, but the diarrhea has not. Medication has been administered but has not worked; it’s still watery diarrhea. We took the baby to the hospital for a stool and blood routine check. How can we determine from the test results if it’s a rotavirus infection? Can we predict this by observing the stool? Is this caused by rotavirus infection?
Answer
The baby’s stool test did not show any significant abnormalities. When breastfeeding, pay attention to hygiene and keep the nipple clean. After handling the baby’s stool and urine, ensure your hands are clean. Since the baby’s stool is affected by breast milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, avoid greasy and junk food, have regular meals, and drink less cold drinks. Focus on taking Montmorillonite Powder, one packet per time, three times a day, before breastfeeding; and Symbiotic Bacteria Powder, one packet per time, twice a day, half an hour after breastfeeding using warm water.
