Question
The baby has had diarrhea for the past few days, and it seems to have dyspepsia, with yellow-green stools. Additionally, the baby prefers to sleep on its stomach at night, with its buttocks raised, resulting in unusually smelly feces. The baby has a poor appetite, eats less but defecates more, and the weight is gradually decreasing. What could be the cause, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Sleeping on the stomach may cause difficulty breathing and poor heat dissipation, which might lead to elevated body temperature or eczema. For the baby’s diarrhea issue, consider using Simethicone enema and administer Enterococcus faecium tablets to control the diarrhea. Also, closely monitor the baby’s mental state to prevent dehydration.
