Question
My baby is 10 months old and has been having diarrhea for three days. Today, the diarrhea contains semi-transparent stuff that looks like mucus. Today, I took him for a blood routine and stool routine check. Our doctor said there’s nothing serious and recommended just drinking more water, but I’m not sure. Here is the test report, and I would like a professional doctor to take a look and see if it’s a bacterial infection or something else.
Answer
Considering the possibility of bacterial infection based on your sent information (with C-reactive protein levels indicating bacterial infection), it is generally considered that it may be related to catching a cold or improper diet. It is recommended to consider taking oral cefixime granules and probiotics for treatment, and if there are no drug allergies, it is best to take the two drugs half an hour apart (under physician guidance), during which prevent the baby from catching a cold. If the baby is still breastfeeding, the adult should avoid spicy and extremely cold drinks, and can take appropriate anti-diarrheal medication. Wishing for a quick recovery.
