Question
The baby’s diarrhea has been ongoing for ten days, sometimes with stools that resemble snot, and at other times like egg flowers. In past treatments, the doctor diagnosed it as indigestion. We hope to get some help.
Answer
For the parents’ concerns, the baby’s symptoms are usually related to dietary intolerance, exposure to cold, or infection, which may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and subsequently cause diarrhea. Parents can give the baby probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora, such as Pefikon, and during the acute phase, use Simethicone to stop diarrhea and Dinggui’er Plaster to warm the abdomen. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to visit a doctor promptly and conduct a stool test to determine if it is infectious enteritis. If it is infectious enteritis, antibiotic treatment may be considered, such as cephalosporin antibiotics.“Baby’s Diarrhea Looks Like Snot” tags: [“Pediatrics”, “Digestive System”, “Child Health”, “Medication Treatment”] slug: “pediatric-74569-babys-diarrhea-looks-like-snot” summary: “The baby has been experiencing diarrhea for ten consecutive days, with symptoms including snot-like and egg flower-like stools.
