Question
An 11-month-old baby is suffering from persistent diarrhea with stools resembling egg flowers.
Answer
It is recommended to carefully inspect the stool and conduct tests to determine if it is due to infant dyspepsia or enteritis. At the same time, be aware of any intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If dyspepsia is the cause, consider oral administration of Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid or Montmorillonite Powder, among other medications. In case of severe symptoms, it is advisable to consult a doctor and receive intravenous treatment. Additionally, reduce the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest and increase fluid intake. If the baby is on complementary feeding, temporarily discontinue or adjust the complementary foods during this period and gradually resume after symptoms improve. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby good health!
