Question
The illness has been ongoing for over ten days. The baby has been having 7-8 bowel movements a day, now down to 5-6. There was a fever in between, which has now subsided. The stool is watery with undigested matter, the abdomen makes rumbling sounds, and the baby often has diarrhea shortly after feeding.
Answer
Diarrhea in infants is generally considered due to reasons such as indigestion, viral infection, lactose intolerance, and bacterial infection. It is recommended to take intestinal regulating medicine, Simethicone, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and take oral rehydration salts. If oral treatment is ineffective, hospital intravenous treatment should be sought. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
