Question
A parent asks that since the 14th, their baby has been experiencing yellowish, watery stools, which returned to normal on the 19th. During this period, a stool test confirmed the baby had dyspepsia. After feeding the baby apple puree on the 23rd, the baby began to have diarrhea, which has continued until now. The parent also inquires about a condition where the baby’s anal area flesh protrudes during defecation and wonders what the cause might be.
Answer
The doctor advises that the aforementioned situation may lead to anal prolapse in the baby and recommends taking the child to the hospital for an immediate check-up. For diarrhea, it is suggested to give the baby medication to adjust the intestinal flora. If the diarrhea is severe, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa can also be administered. Additionally, while long-term use of probiotics does not necessarily lead to constipation, it is advisable to let the intestines produce probiotics naturally as much as possible, as probiotics have a bidirectional regulatory effect.
