Question
My baby has diarrhea with four to five bowel movements, loose and yellow stools, watery stools mixed with milk curds. The stool routine shows 3-5 white blood cells, 2-3 pus cells. The baby has been suffering from diarrhea for over 20 days. What is going on? What kind of treatment is needed? How should I take care of the baby afterwards?
Answer
The baby’s bowel condition is likely due to dyspepsia, usually caused by overeating. Since the baby is too young, their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed, and overeating can lead to excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to actively undergo digestive treatment, which may include taking chicken gizzard granules for treatment. In terms of daily care, it is important not to overfeed the baby and to perform abdominal massage appropriately to promote digestion and absorption.
