Hi sir or madam, for the last 3 months, my baby motions are watery, sometimes semi solid, and sometimes semi solid with mucus. It happens daily up to 8 times. I have attached the report in this mail. Please share what kind of problem this could be. The doctor told us to stop breastfeeding. Is this correct? What should I do? My baby is 6 months old.

Breastfeeding should not be stopped without strong evidence. Frequent motions may be due to lactose intolerance or gut infection. Please consult a pediatric gastroenterologist with the stool report. Hydration is crucial.

Take a STOOL EXAMINATION, PH & REDUCING SUBSTANCES Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

For the past three days, my diarrhea has not stopped. I am having almost 7 to 10 bowel movements a day, along with vomiting twice and a nauseous feeling. I also have high fever and fatigue. My family doctor prescribed antibiotics and other medicines, saying it could be due to food poisoning, but there is little relief. Should I go for a blood test to determine if it is something else?

My baby has been prescribed Enterogermina vials for 5 days because her stool report shows WBC 15 to 20/hpf, presence of mucus (+++), and reducing substances, even though she does not have diarrhea. She currently has no other symptoms but is feeding less than before, previously she drank about 90 mL of formula per feed, and now she only takes around 30 mL. Her weight has not increased in the last 3 weeks. Her birth weight was 2.188 kg, and she currently weighs 4.6 kg. How can I help her increase her weight and improve her milk intake?

Hi doctor I am experiencing mild stomach pain and feel the need to poop after every meal. I have also attached my blood report for your review.
