Question
My little girl has been experiencing diarrhea recently. She stops when she takes probiotics, but then it starts again after a few days. The stool test shows no abnormalities. The doctor mentioned it might be due to poor digestion, as she is breastfed and there are milk curds in the diarrhea. The family has given her Lactase enzyme and probiotics simultaneously. Can we continue with the probiotics? Can we take them together with Lactase? I’ve tried probiotics before, but the effect was not significant. I hope someone can provide some advice so that she can absorb better and stop having diarrhea.
Answer
Indigestion can also be accompanied by vomiting symptoms. However, based on your description, if vomiting is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, it is mainly considered a possibility of acute enteritis. I suggest you take oral probiotics and other medications for treatment, while also paying attention to drinking plenty of warm water, avoiding cold and cold foods, and spicy and irritating foods. Observe for a period of time and seek a revisit to the hospital if necessary for regular stool tests to confirm the condition. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be required.
