The baby is eating dinner normally and playing, but why is it still not better?Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
Kind of help needed: How can the baby be stopped from having diarrhea?
Doctor's answer:
The child's gastrointestinal absorption function is immature and prone to gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction due to various adverse factors, leading to nausea and vomiting. The child's condition requires increasing diaper changes, reducing gastrointestinal pressure. For breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to avoiding spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods. For formula or mixed feeding, the formula should be dissolved, and attention should be paid to preventing abdominal cold. Take probiotics and montmorillonite powder for conditioning. Proper care should be taken for the buttock skin, rinse with clean water daily, especially after defecation. Apply petroleum jelly or other oily diaper cream after rinsing.
