Question

My baby is 6 months and 1/2 old and has had diarrhea for 4 or 5 days, with 4 or 5 episodes a day, the stool is slightly loose and yellow. Two days ago, we checked the stool at a hospital and found a few white blood cells. The doctor believed there was a slight inflammation and prescribed Golden Bifidus. After the baby took Golden Bifidus for two days, it seemed to show no improvement. Since this morning, the baby hasn’t been eating much milk, only half of the usual amount. This morning, there was one loose, yellow stool. By noon, it was even looser and less in quantity, with some brown suspended particles. We went to another large hospital, where the doctor asked about the situation. In addition to Golden Bifidus, the doctor prescribed two other drugs: Sifusu (Cefixime Granules) and Jifushi (Aluminum Phosphate Gel).

Answer

There are many causes of infantile diarrhea. If a child is diagnosed with infantile diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, accompany gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
