Question
If an infant’s stool shows a single white blood cell, should it be seen by a pediatric surgeon or an internist? Which symptoms are considered pediatric internal medicine?
Answer
A single white blood cell in an infant’s stool may indicate enteritis. It is recommended to take Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill and Fluoxetine Capsules, and to drink plenty of water to maintain electrolyte balance. In severe cases, fluid replacement may be necessary. If it is a viral infection, it may require the use of Baidu Nan and oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration, and medical intravenous treatment may be necessary if needed.
