Question
The baby has had diarrhea for a month. Laboratory and examination results show one plus white blood cells, improvement in enteritis, but no improvement in diarrhea, diagnosed as physiological diarrhea. The current laboratory results show one plus white blood cells and reduced urine output. Western medicine treatment seems to be limited in effectiveness. How should we handle this situation now?
Answer
It is temporarily not recommended to use pomegranate peel water. It is suggested to carefully examine and test the stool to determine if it is due to indigestion or enteritis. If it is indigestion, oral digestive aids are recommended, and in severe cases, a doctor should be seen, possibly requiring intravenous treatment. At the same time, the interval between breastfeeding should be shortened to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest, and more water should be given. If complementary foods are being provided, they should be temporarily stopped or adjusted, and gradually resumed once the condition improves. Particularly, it should be avoided to eat indigestible foods. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
