Question
「Three-month-old baby’s stool test shows 4 to 6 white blood cells. Do I need to give the baby antibiotics?」
Answer
「If a 3-month-old baby’s stool test indicates the presence of 4 to 6 white blood cells, it may be considered to use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and attapulgite powder for treatment. However, it should be avoided to use these medications simultaneously, as they may reduce the effectiveness of the drugs. An increase in the frequency of bowel movements after the child takes the medication may be due to the lactic acid bacillus powder. It is recommended to temporarily discontinue this medication because using it concurrently with anti-inflammatory drugs may render it ineffective.」
