Question
Our daughter, who is four months old, has been suffering from diarrhea since October 27. She has about eight to nine episodes a day. Initially, we gave her medication and used a baby navel patch, and her diarrhea improved somewhat, but her stool turned green. On November 1, we had her stool checked, and the white blood cell count was 2. The doctor prescribed Hikla and probiotics. We continued the medication until November 9, during which we kept checking her stool, and the white blood cell count increased. On November 10, the stool test results were normal, but she still had diarrhea five to six times a day, and she passed jelly-like yellow stool at night.
Answer
The symptoms are quite common in clinical practice due to the baby’s young age and slower intestinal recovery. Parents do not need to worry too much. You can continue to give probiotics to help regulate the intestines, but do not give antibiotics to the baby arbitrarily. If the baby is in good spirits and drinking milk normally, there is no need to be overly concerned. Sterilize the baby’s bottles and utensils at high temperatures at home, and parents should wash their hands before and after touching the baby. Change clothes after coming home.
