Question

The baby is four and a half months old and has started experiencing diarrhea over the past week. The stool is sometimes yellow, sometimes green, and occasionally contains milk residue. The baby has been taking Mommy Love for two days, with no noticeable effect, and then took tannic acid protein yeast powder for five days, also with no effect. How should I treat this condition?

Answer

Based on the patient’s symptoms, an initial diagnosis suggests acute enteritis (acute pediatric nausea and vomiting disease). Acute enteritis is usually caused by bacteria or viruses, leading to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal stool. The presence of milk residue and green color in the stool may indicate dyspepsia in the baby. During the inflammatory period, fever may occur. It is recommended that the patient rest more, avoid overexertion, and choose easily digestible foods for the diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, and overly salty foods. Drink plenty of water, avoid eating frozen foods, and consume a moderate amount of sugar salt water.
