Question
An 11-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea for a week. The baby had a fever and has undergone stool and blood tests. After taking medication for two days, the diarrhea symptoms have not improved. The stool is sometimes loose, sometimes slightly thick, and at times even watery, accompanied by vomiting. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on the description and examination results, the issue seems minor. It is likely that the baby has acute gastroenteritis, possibly related to poor diet or exposure to cold. It is advised to continue taking the medication and apply a navel patch over the navel. Maintain a diet of light and easily digestible foods and ensure warmth. Wishing for a quick recovery!
