Question
A two-month-old infant was given an enema treatment after developing pneumonia and fever, but subsequently began experiencing diarrhea for a month. The stool analysis showed yellow, smelly, watery consistency with 2-3 fat droplets and negative HVR (Hemoccult Visible Red). Nausea and vomiting started one month ago. What was the previous treatment situation and effectiveness? How should the current treatment be effective? Is the loose stool when changing diapers related to breast milk? Could it be due to the enema? How should we seek help?
Answer
The infant’s loose stool following pneumonia may be due to digestive disturbances caused by the disease. Generally, it takes some time for the digestive system to recover. Enemas do not significantly affect an infant’s absorption function. Recommendation: If the infant’s weight gain is normal, i.e., the weight at three months is double that at birth, there is no major issue. Consider trying Qinglao Powder, Biofortis for Infants, and Montmorillonite Powder; there is no need to use Dikun Powder temporarily.
