Question
A 6-month-old baby experienced diarrhea and low fever after introducing new complementary foods, with symptoms lasting for 8 days. The stool frequency increased and showed frothy and egg-white-like consistency. Inquire about possible causes and treatment suggestions.
Answer
The baby’s condition may be due to indigestion, and she is currently being treated with Mamy Love and Montmorillonite powder. It is also recommended to take oral stomachic medicine for adjustment. The test showed an elevated C-reactive protein, indicating the possibility of inflammation, and it is suggested to add Cefixime for treatment, along with abdominal heat compresses and warmth. No risk of malnutrition was found, and the baby can be observed and treated continuously.
