Question
A 14-day-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea about five to six times a day. Could this be related to the two bottles of Yinzhu Huang oral liquid taken for treating jaundice before? The medication has been stopped for about six days.
Answer
Consider the possibility of malabsorption diarrhea or enteritis. Further stool routine tests are needed for a definitive diagnosis, checking for the presence of white blood cells. If enteritis is confirmed, cefixime suspension or Huanglian tablet can be taken for treatment. If the stool routine is normal, it is recommended to take Mamylove and Simida for treatment.
