What’s Going on With My Baby’s Diarrhea and Elevated Blood Lymphocytes?

My baby boy is a little over two months old. He has had a bit of diarrhea for the past two days, and the blood test shows slightly elevated lymphocytes. What’s going on? If it’s just a slight increase in lymphocytes, it’s first considered that the nausea and vomiting are caused by a viral infection. It is suggested to give the child probiotics to relieve the symptoms. I remember to pay attention to the child’s diet list, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, and drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration. It’s also crucial to keep the indoor air well-ventilated, feed with breast milk in small amounts multiple times, and if offering complementary foods, avoid cold and raw foods. For these few days of diarrhea, avoid eating meat.

What’s Happening with My 2.5-Month-Old Who hasn’t Pooped for Three Days?

A 75-day-old baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for three days, isn’t crying, and eats on time. Previous treatment and results: none, seeking assistance: to know why, should be okay, my baby once took 8 days for the longest, breastfeeding usually doesn’t cause issues, formula milk can make stools dry, and if complementary foods are provided, stools can also become dry. It’s best to see a doctor if there’s no bowel movement for 3-4 days. If the child has no abnormalities, eating and drinking well and taking a nap during the day is normal. If it’s really bad, use soap sticks and rectal suppositories, but I don’t recommend using them. So when my baby was about a month old, the longest it took for a bowel movement was on the eighth day. I often rub my baby’s belly to help with absorption if the stool is too dry or too loose.

What’s Happening with My One-Year-Old Baby Who Hasn’t Grown for Half a Year?

After the first year, a baby’s physical growth tends to slow down significantly. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. At this age, the baby’s weight increases by an average of about 200 grams per month, and height by about 1.0 centimeter per month. Additionally, the baby’s chest circumference begins to exceed the head circumference, and the anterior fontanelle usually closes before 18 months. If there is a deviation in the baby’s weight or height but it remains within the normal range, there is no need to worry too much. However, if the deviation is significant, it may be necessary to bring the baby to the hospital for a check-up to confirm if there is a lack of trace elements, etc.
