Question
What’s wrong with a three-month-old child who has diarrhea and green stools, and what should be done?
Answer
The child has a slight intestinal infection and needs to be treated with antibiotics, such as cefaclor, and also requires other medications to be used in conjunction, commonly including attapulgite powder and probiotics. Probiotics can be products like probiotics, Peifengkang, or Baole’an. When taking the medication, pay attention to the interval between doses; they should not be mixed together and should be taken at least an hour apart. After a few days of treatment, recheck the stool condition. If there are no white blood cells, stop taking the antibiotic. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
