Question
A pair of dragon and phoenix twins, aged 50 days, are being exclusively breastfed with formula milk. Originally, their stool was yellow and shaped like strips. About a month ago, their stool started to harden and turned green, resembling small granules. After consulting a doctor, the doctor recommended probiotics. However, after taking them for two days, the stool became loose and dark green, and was not formed. After stopping the probiotics, the stool occurs once a day.
Answer
Upon discovering that the baby has diarrhea, it is advised to carefully inspect the stool to determine if it is due to indigestion or enteritis. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether there is intestinal dysfunction caused by fever. If diagnosed with indigestion, it is recommended to take Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid or probiotics. In severe cases, medical consultation and intravenous treatment should be sought. Reduce the frequency of changing diapers to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest, drink more water. When providing complementary foods, it should be temporarily stopped or reduced in quantity. Gradually resume normalcy after the condition improves. Especially avoid eating indigestible foods.
