Question
The infant has had diarrhea for a month without improvement, with yellow watery stools or green sticky stools. What treatment should be considered?
Answer
The physician advises checking the stool sample to differentiate between dyspepsia and enteritis, and points out that it may be caused by intestinal dysfunction due to a cold. If diagnosed with a digestive disease, immediate medical treatment should be sought, including gastrointestinal decompression and the development of good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid their child’s preference for certain foods and provide a balanced diet. For chronic diarrhea, further examination and treatment may be necessary.
