Question
A five-and-a-half-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea with yellow-green stool accompanied by mucus, occurring four to five times daily. The baby is in good spirits, naps and eating normally. Previous treatment and effects: taken probiotics. Seeking help: what illness is it, and what medication can treat it?
Answer
It is recommended to carefully examine the stool for analysis to determine if it is due to indigestion or enteritis. Also, be aware of any intestinal dysfunction caused by fever. If it is indigestion, it is suggested to take oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Montmorillonite Powder, etc. In severe cases, please consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Reduce the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest. Increase water intake. If complementary foods are being provided, they should be temporarily stopped or reduced. Alternatively, increase the intake of complementary foods. Resume gradually after improvement. Pay special attention not to eat indigestible foods.
