Question
Why is my baby’s stool sticky? How can I help them get better faster?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to examine the stool to determine if the child is experiencing dyspepsia, enteritis, or intestinal dysfunction due to fever. If it’s dyspepsia, it’s recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Simethicone and Mamy Love, and use Dinggui Er belly button patches. If necessary, pediatric intravenous treatment can be considered. Shorten the interval between changing diapers and increase fluid intake. If the cause is enteritis, it’s suggested to use ampicillin injection for anti-inflammatory treatment. If there is a fever, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
