Question
An infant over ten days old is experiencing diarrhea. Is this related to physiological jaundice?
Answer
The symptoms you described may be caused by enterocolitis, which is not related to physiological jaundice. It is recommended to use Huoxiang Zhengqi Wan and Fluoxetine capsules for treatment, and to ensure the infant receives adequate water intake to maintain electrolyte balance. If the symptoms are severe, additional fluid supplementation may be necessary. You can also try using calamine lotion to alleviate skin discomfort, and short-term use of dexamethasone cream or skin-easy soft cream, as well as oral antihistamines and cimetidine. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can also be effective, and you can opt for external washing with purple grass decoction. I hope these suggestions can help your baby recover soon.
